Rabbit Curry

Rabbit Curry is one of my favourite curry recipes. The impressive firm meat carries the mix of herbs and spices and absorbs without  being overpowered. This is a very simple recipe to follow with the hit of green chilli adding that additional warmth. Also Rabbit is becoming more popular and available from supermarkets and butchers making this recipe ingredients easy to obtain. Rabbit must be cooked until it reaches at least 160 degrees F.  Furthermore, both raw and cooked rabbit freezes really well without losing it flavour. Wine and fruit based sauces work very well with the meat and compliment its leanness.
