  • Bunny-onna-stick ! Although unless I told ya, you'd never know lol

    So had a busy day yesterday, did some tear and share lunchrolls, then spent most of the afternoon making sausage and finally using the northern tools meat mixer (great bit of kit).

    While also committing myself to an evening bbq.

    Decided on bunny again - well they're free and we've got a few

    This time took a decent sized bunny and removed all the meat.
    I figure I got about 12oz maybe a touch more.
    Marinated in soy-sauce, my magic ginger paste, garlic powder and honey. Nice and simple, but heavy on the ginger - got to be fresh and blitzed to a fine paste though.

    Stuck them on kebabs with a strip of bacon, kinda interweaved. Same way I did these But with streaky bacon instead of prosciutto.

    Gave them about 30 mins at 300 ish and then finished off on the grill:





    'cos I was stuck for time raided the freezer and just threw some burgers and Bacon bangers in as well. ALso did potato salad with egg, sate sauce and garlic bread (latter 2 from freezer).

    ALso did some red onions, was originally going to stuff but ran out of time and just cut and doused in olive oil instead. Those were really good



    Now I microwaved the bunny carcass to strip bits off for the dog's dinner. And that was tough as anything. Also nuked the few little biots left in the marinade and that was even tougher.

    So wasn't too sure how the bunny-onna-stick would turn out - turned out brilliant !
    The bacon strips kept it nice and moist while allowing me to cook it long enough to be tender.
    Really tender, very tasty. But if you didn't know what meat it was - seriously you'd not have had a clue.
    Slightly meatier than chicken without being as juicy as pork. Takes a marinade as well as chicken too.
    Good stuff and one more way to eat bunny

    So if you didn't get any eggs this morning, tell your kids some bloke in england ate the easter bunny - and he's very sorry

    Don't tell the kids, but there'll be more bbq uses for bunny in the near future :-)

    Rabbit is good stuff, no doubt. And anything with bacon is better ;{) Nice hop-kabobs!

            Okay ken, will do.
            Just too busy to remember to take any of the prep pics - this is going to get done again, so I'll add the early pics next time I make them.

            Just as well really, I made a right mess of the carcass lol
            Mind you the meat comes off pretty easy, and you don't need to worry about too many sinews. And I didn't make any distinction between leg, back, shoulder meat etc. It all cooked up pretty much the same.

            1 reasonable sized bunny yielded 8 kebabs. And it's way cheaper than chicken lol

              He's using an air rifle? Probably, considering your gun laws there

              I have a fairly serious air rifle. Chipmonks fear me.

                              nope not even a pop - dave's got a .177 and a .22
                              PCP (precharged pneumatics) And they both sound just like someone going 'pst' very very quietly. Seriously you pull the trigger and wonder whether anything happened. No recoil either.
                              The .177 has much higher velocity and flatter trajectory. Basically good for headshots up to and probably a bit over 30 yards.
                              Dave doesn't often miss :-)

                              Basically the gun laws in england allow any air gun up to 12ft-lb.
                              My weirauch hw 97k is almost smack on 11.5 - factory fresh after about 10 years. Mind you it weighs the best part of 12 lbs.
                              And probably makes more noise than my dad's silenced shotgun lol

                              To use anything over 12ft-lb you need a firearms certificate licence. And to get one of those you have to prove that you have a sufficiently large parcel of land to shoot on that there is no danger of taking out a member of the public. As a consequence the sub-12ft-lb scene in england is probably one of the mkost advanced in the world, with a significant number of uk manufacturers and factories. Most of the serious airguns sold in the country are actually made here as well. Cannot think of any other industry where this is the case.
                              Plus most vermin: rats, rabbits, pigeons ect can be easily hunted with an air rifle.
                              Hell a .22 with a hollow point and a head shot would probably take out a fox as well.

                              Thanks for comments and points - always appreciated :-)

                              I think next bbq I''m going to do some mixed rabbit & pigeon.
                              Since the new shotgun, we're not short of pigeon either lol
