Roast Rabbit with Creamy Pear Sauce

Roast Rabbit with Creamy Pear Sauce

Course: MainCuisine: GermanDifficulty: Medium

Rabbit was once far more common than chicken in working and middle-class kitchens in the previous century. Its simple flavor and ease of cooking made it a staple. Today, chicken has largely supplanted rabbit in our diet, and recipes for it have disappeared from our cookbooks. This is a roast rabbit variant with a fruit and cream sauce.
