Wild Rabbit With Thyme And Zucchini Recipe

This is the most nutritious and flavorsome way to get big gains and lean muscle from Bugs Bunny.

 

You’ll need

• 1 small onion, chopped

• 30g fresh fennel, chopped

• 3 large courgettes

• Olive oil, for frying

• Seasoned flour, for coating

• 200g wild rabbit, cut into equal-sized portions

• 1 large glass white wine

• 150ml chicken stock

• ½ a medium-sized bunch of tarragon

• 1 bunch sage

• 1 large handful thyme

• 4 cloves garlic, crushed

 

Method

Step 1: Brown the onion, garlic and fennel in olive oil. Onion may seem like little more than a garnish, but it scavenges free radicals and reduces your risk of gastric ulcers, while also helping to regulate your blood sugar. Ignore the tears – they’re good for you!

Step 2: Place the seasoned flour and rabbit pieces in a plastic bag, then shake the bag gently to coat the meat. “I’m really into wild game – it’s leaner, tends to eat what it should and is quite cheap to pick up if you know a good local butcher,” explains Lovell.

Step 3: Add the rabbit to the onions, oil and fennel and brown. “Rabbit also gains lean weight on one-sixth of the food a cow needs so environmentally, they’re a really smart choice.”

Step 4: Add the liquids, herbs and courgette and simmer over a medium heat for 1-2 hours until cooked all the way through. “Health-wise, rabbit meat is a lean source of high quality protein, with a chicken-type consistency,” says Lovell.

Step 5: If you’re looking to burn fat, eat this meal as it stands. If you’re bulking up, serve it over a bed of a half and half mix of brown and white rice.
