This morning I had these rabbit legs in the freezer with absolutely no idea what I wanted to do with them. Thank God for FB friends. Shinae Choi Robinson is a wonderful cook and photographer. She posted a recipe for curry chicken https://plus.google.com/u/0/105466596306740968847/posts/Jiu5hSumdmW with a Vietnamese vibe this morning that sounded fantastic! I was inspired 🙂 This marinade was so good that Jade was thinking “dip”.
I preheated my gas grill and when it was ready, I ran out of gas. F…!, I mean, “curses”, I said. No problem. I grilled it on the stove top.
With this lovely rabbit, I served spinach sauteed with bacon and shallots and Korean quail eggs http://atomic-temporary-17826715.wpcomstaging.com/2011/12/09/ginger-sesame-coquelet-with-korean-quail-eggs/. Lovely! Chicken, rabbit, game hens, guinea fowl, whatever, this will work!
Shinae Choi Robinson’s Tandoori Marinade
1 tbsp curry powder
4 garlic cloves, minced
1.5 inches fresh ginger, sliced
1 individual container Greek yogurt
2 tbsp fish sauce
1 heaping tbsp tomato paste
1/4 cup cilantro, chopped
Zest of 1/2 lime
Juice of 1 lime
1 fresh mildish chili, sliced
Mix all together, add meat of choice and marinate for a least 2 hours or overnight.
I’ll be trying this one over charcoal, looks great. My kids love rabbit, too.
If I knew how to light a charcoal fire, I would have done the same 🙂
That sounds wonderful and I’ve been thinking about rabbit today 😉
Thanks Dog.
Another beautiful plate of food. I have to get my brood over the ‘Thumper’ thing. I think I will cook some rabbit and call it ‘chicken of the fields’ or some such.
Best,
Conor
Thank you Conor. “Chicken of the fields” might just be the way to get them to taste it 🙂
Wish I could get more of my family to like rabbit. Never thought tandoori but have to say that it sounds like an excellent idea!
Hi Josh. I just thought of it yesterday 🙂
I love rabbit, but I never see it where I currently live. This looks amazingly good!
Thank you Jillian.
Looks great. You’re really into your ethnic food. Tandoori so reminds me of England. I think an Indian dish was voted the popular dish in a survey throughout the UK.
You English are almost as “ethnic” in your culinary preferences as we Americans. You colonized most of the great food countries 🙂 I love the food diversity in England and am looking forward to a visit soon to eat around.
What a great idea! I never thought of using rabbit for tandoori
Me either 😀 Thank you.
I tried this recpe tonight! The marinade is AMAZING! I had to cook the rabbit in the oven and slightly overcooked it. Will certainly try this again! Fabulous idea!
