For today's cook I am making a beautiful and succulent grilled rabbit. I know it is
not that popular but if you follow what I did step by step you will be making
the most incredible rabbit you've ever seen in your life.
So let's do it!
We started off by making our marinade. Remember exact amount on the description
down below. I just threw everything into my pestle and mortar. I threw in some
black pepper, coarse sea salt, fresh garlic. Every time you add an ingredient
just grind it all up. Then I added white onions, cilantro, a tiny bit of olive oil,
lime juice and smoked paprika. And all there's left to do is mix it well and
our marinade is done.
After defrosting our beautiful rabbit this is what it looks like. The first
thing we need to do is remove the inners and as you can see this rabbit came with
the liver and also the kidneys the liver are great to cook right on the
pan they taste fantastic. Just pan-fry them and they will be wonderful. But for
today I am not using this element I'm saving it for another day. And these are
the kidneys the kidneys you can just fry them up on the pan as well they taste
absolutely incredible. But for today since we're grilling the rabbit I am not
going to be using them. Once I remove the inners all I have to do is open up the
cavity and flatten them out as much as possible so that it can grill evenly.
Rabbit is a very lean meat so you don't have to remove a lot of fat just trim it
a little and your rabbit is ready to be marinated. I like to make a little
slashes between the thighs so that my marinade can really penetrate into the
meat. Now all that's left to do is apply that
beautiful marinade.
To ensure my marinade will penetrate the meat as much as possible, I am putting it
in a vacuum sealed bag. Now you want to let it marinate for at least five hours
but I am marinating mine for a total of 24 hours in my refrigerator. Now that is
marinating I am going to show you my favorite way to make mashed potatoes. And
I started off by peeling all my potatoes. To cook them faster I like to chop them
all up and put them to boil.
Don't forget to season your water with salt. Now throw in your potatoes and boil
them until they're fork-tender. Once that's done I like to drain the water
and put them right back on the pot they were cooking on. While the potatoes are
still hot I threw in a whole stick of butter an entire cream cheese , mash it
well with a mashed potato masher,
throw in a little bit of milk, season it with a little bit of salt and your
mashed potato is done.
I'm a true believer of developing additional flavor on the
rabbit so I'm making a basting sauce which is very simple. I used melted
butter, smoked paprika and crushed garlic with sugar mix it well and my basting
sauce is done. The very next day my rabbit was ready to
be cooked and quickly remove it out of the package and it was ready for the
grill. I am cooking this beautiful rabbit with my slow and sear at 350 degrees
Fahrenheit. I am shooting for an internal thighs temperature of the rabbit of a
hundred and sixty degrees Fahrenheit. So let's do it!
What do you think? Looks amazing, smells better. Smells incredible everybody it
smells like oh okay I think it's enough talking. Smells like beautiful! Alright so we're gonna go
ahead and let's go for one leg for you one leg for me. Yeah while you start
cutting that can I try that mashed potato? You wanna try the mashed potato? Yes go
for it my friend . What happened Angel? Are you alright? Guys you don't you don't
know this and you can't taste this right now but Guga's mashed potatoes are so
perfect. They're like super creamy right the salt is always perfect. The mashed potatoes are really good.
I gotta tell you guys something I'm kind of known for my mash... I'm known for my meat but
I'm also known for my mashed potatoes because it's really creamy everybody I
definitely recommend you giving you their try. Yes do I put a lot of butter?
Yes. do I put a lot of cream cheese? Yes. But is it good? Yes. All right here you go Angel.
Here you go my friend go for it enjoy my friend. Enjoy enjoy it. Enjoy it? Yes.
Tell me how that rabbit tastes I want to know from you. I'll tell you right now smells
beautiful. Go for it. I'm going it for it. Cheers my friend.
Okay, is if you never had it the first time you try it you're gonna think you
first thought is gonna be that it tastes like chicken. Right cuz it tastes a
little bit like chicken. Mm-hmm it just has a little bit like a off flavor like
a little different flavor than chicken. But it tastes like chicken but it tastes
so good. The taste is very similar to chicken. It's probably the most moist
chicken you'll ever have. That's a good, good explanation very, very
moist you know chicken tends to be a little bit dry even though when you cook
it sous vide it's not dry but when you're cooking on the grill chicken is kind of
dry. The rabbit is very, very moist it's very, very mild
it is not gamey whatsoever it tastes incredible everybody. All the marinade
that I did and letting a marinade overnight I think it's the key for the
rabbit. I think whatever you did they should also do. They also should do. I know
rabbit is not very popular everybody a lot of people you know tend to think
that you know oh it's a rabbit but it is incredible it is fantastic and if you
never had it you have to give it a try. You know it's not orthodox right but at
the same time, I'm a hunter Angel is learning to hunt as well, we hunt both of
us. And it is a part of life and it tastes fantastic.
Yeah but we're hunters but we're not that crazy like we don't grab the the heart
and just bite it like some crazy people. No no we don't do that we're we respect
We hunt for food. That's correct I made this presentation because I want it.
If your family members are a little bit skeptical about rabbit, I recommend you
taking it apart and just cooking it apart that way is not as shocking when
they see the whole thing right in front of them. Agree? Yeah I mean maybe my first
time my first time having rabbit was with my girlfriend's dad first time I
had it he had it head and everything like laid
out and I was like. Not for you? Oh God I felt bad like no no the little rabbit.
Don't say that. I'm being serious I was like oh no. Que cute! And then he goes; you have to
try it! and like I don't know if you guys know this but when you're dating
somebody and their dad says to do something. You have to do it! You kinda have
to do it. And when you tried it what happened? It tasted like chicken.
It taste incredible. But like really good chicken Yeah it was awesome, it was really good
yea. He made it with rice. Guys I hope you enjoyed this video if you do enjoy it

much for watching and we'll see you guys on the next one. Guys one of the secrets
of the rabbit and making it taste really good especially the top of it is that
you gotta keep basting it the more you baste you develop a layer of flavor.
Yo you just want caveman style. I like it like that Angel. There's bones bro I gotta eat
around the bone, the knife is not helping. Hey nothing is better than just picking it
up and eating. I'm very curious to find out how this
would taste sous-vide if you guys are interested in on seeing rabbit sous-vide
put it on the comments down below and I'm gonna make it happen so that the guys could
give it a try. They never had rabbit none of them. None of them, really? None of them no
You think they'll like it? There's no... I mean I don't know how sous vide would taste because on the
grill you can taste that little charcoal flavor you know. Yeah but some people
just say that they don't like it just because it's a rabbit. That's true you
know like just cuz of the mental I guess what stigma. Yeah it's so good yeah but I
tried to the rabbit everybody it tastes fantastic. And if you want to see it sous vide
comment down below we're gonna make it happen. See you on the next one take care
bye bye.
