How to Make Rabbit With Tarragon Sauce

  1. In a large resealable bag, combine 1/4 cup all-purpose flour, 2 tablespoons fresh tarragon (chopped), 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Mix well.
  2. Add 1.5 lbs of rabbit pieces (cut into 1-inch pieces) to the bag, one at a time. Seal the bag and shake gently to coat the rabbit evenly.
  3. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil.
  4. Add the coated rabbit pieces to the skillet and sauté until golden brown on all sides (about 5-7 minutes).
  5. Remove approximately half of the butter and oil from the skillet, leaving about 2 tablespoons of fat in the pan.
  6. Pour in 1 cup of chicken broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
  7. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer the rabbit for approximately 30 minutes.
  8. Uncover the skillet and simmer for another 30 minutes, or until the rabbit is cooked through and tender.
  9. If desired, thicken the sauce by whisking in 1-2 tablespoons of flour mixed with 2 tablespoons of cold water. Simmer for a few more minutes until the sauce reaches your desired consistency.
