Pa's Rabbit

1. 1

   Melt butter in saucepan and saute onion.

2. 2

   Heat butter mixture until golden brown.

3. 3

   Fry rabbit in butter until evenly browned and sealed.

4. 4

   Add the water and simmer for 1-5 hours with the water only *just* moving because the meat will toughen if it boils.

5. 5

   My dad usually makes this without the bouquet garni in the pot-- he gets wild rabbits on the farm in New Zealand and they seem to be strong enough in flavour to not need it.

6. 6

   I buy my bunnies in the Dutch supermarket and think that the additional herbs*are* needed as these are farmed rabbits and don't have the same taste.
