Ingredients
- 2 cleaned rabbits, quartered
- 2 tablespoons cooking oil
- 3 Chicken bouillon cubes
- 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
- 2 tablespoon Parsley
- 2 Bay leaves
- 3 Carrots, Large, chopped
- 3 Celery ribs, chopped
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 Onion, yellow small, chopped
- 8 cups Chicken broth, low sodium
- 16 ounces uncooked wide egg noodles
Cooking Instructions
Start by chopping the vegetables into bite size pieces. Set them aside for later. Season the rabbit quarters well with salt and pepper. Heat two tablespoons of cooking oil in a heavy Dutch oven or pot over medium-high heat. Brown the rabbit for three to four minutes per side to help lock in the juices and develop a better flavor. Move the rabbit to a plate and set aside.
In pot, add onion, carrots, and celery. Season well with salt and pepper. Saute for 10 minutes or until onion is translucent, stirring frequently. Add garlic and continue to stir for 1-2 minutes as to not burn the garlic.
To deglaze the pot: Add 1/3 cup of your chicken broth to the pot and use a flat wooden spoon to scrape the bottom of the pot gathering all the cooked bits of flavor into your broth. Do not skip this step!
Reduce the heat to medium. Return the browned rabbit to the pot. Cover with chicken broth. Stir in the thyme, bouillon cubes, and bay leaves. Cover the pot and bring to a light boil. Reduce the heat to low and continue cooking at a light boil or heavy simmer for two hours.
Remove the rabbit from the pot. Turn the heat down to very low and add the egg noodles. Cover the pot to allow the noodles to soften (15-20 minutes). Once the rabbit is cool enough to handle, remove the meat from the bones, shredding it into small bits as you go. Add the deboned rabbit meat back to the pot, stir well to incorporate, and return the lid, allowing the noodles to fully soften before serving.
