Farmed White Rabbit

Description

Farmed White Rabbit is one of the most nutritious and versatile white meats available, and it's having a well-deserved culinary comeback in Australia. Tender, mild, and delicate in flavour, it's an exceptional alternative to chicken that rewards adventurous home cooks and food enthusiasts alike. Our Farmed White Rabbit is sourced from Game Farms, partnered with Australia's most recognised rabbit producers. 

Farmed rabbit is a very different eating experience from wild rabbit. Without the intense gamey flavour of wild rabbit, the farmed variety offers a mild, delicate taste with a soft, tender texture — closer to chicken but with a subtly richer, earthy character that makes it genuinely special.  When it comes to nutrition, rabbit is in a class of its own. Compared to beef, pork, lamb, and chicken, rabbit meat has the highest percentage of protein, the lowest percentage of fat, and the fewest calories per kilogram. 

Rabbit is celebrated in European cuisine for good reason. From classic French braises and Italian ragù to Spanish-style roasts, it's a staple of some of the world's most respected food cultures. Whether you slow-braise it in white wine, roast it with herbs, or use it as a chicken substitute in your favourite recipe, farmed rabbit delivers extraordinary results.

Cooking Tips:

• Braising (recommended): Joint the rabbit into pieces and slow-braise in white wine, stock, and aromatics for 1.5–2 hours for tender, fall-off-the-bone results
• Roasting: Wrap the loin in pancetta or prosciutto to retain moisture, roast at 180–190°C, and rest well before serving
• Fricassée: Cut into portions, pan-fry with herbs and garlic, deglaze with white wine and finish with cream for a classic result
• Ragù: Slow-cook in red wine, tomato, and herbs until the meat falls apart — toss through pasta or serve over polenta
• Grilling: Marinate jointed pieces in olive oil, garlic, and herbs, then grill over medium heat for a lighter preparation
• Don't overcook: Rabbit dries out quickly — cook until just tender, then rest. Low and slow is always the safest approach

Serving Ideas:

• Try a classic Tuscan-style braise with white wine, tagliatelle, pine nuts, raisins, parsley, and thyme for a restaurant-quality dinner at home
• Substitute rabbit in your favourite chicken casserole or slow-cooker recipe for a leaner, more flavoursome result
• Serve roasted rabbit with roasted root vegetables, a drizzle of pan jus, and crusty bread for an elegant weekend meal
