Bone

Rabbit bones and frames build stock—collagen, residual meat and savoury juices. Lean mild pale meat is more herbaceous when wild and milder when farmed. Roast first for brown stock or simmer gently for a lighter pot; strain and cool. Essential base for sauces in French, Spanish, Italian and British country cookery.

Detailed nutrients

Bone itself is mineral matrix; culinary values reflect marrow and attached tissue more than pure bone.

History

As rabbit cookery specialised, bone was portioned and sold ready for the pan. Slow-food kitchens revived whole-rabbit jointing and saddle roasts.

Medieval warren management supplied rabbits to European kitchens; bone of rabbit took a named place in that kitchen trade.

Farmed rabbit offered mild consistent meat for urban butchers. Cooks treated bone of rabbit as a cut with its own timing and sides.
