Meat

Saddle

Rabbit saddle is the double-loin roast still on the bone—a classic game showpiece for quick roasting when tender. Lean mild pale meat is more herbaceous when wild and milder when farmed. Protect with fat, roast hot, rest, carve into neat portions. Older animals may prefer jointing and braising instead.
