Meat

Shoulder

Rabbit shoulder is collageneous forequarter meat—best braised, pulled, minced or slow-roasted until yielding. Lean mild pale meat is more herbaceous when wild and milder when farmed. Brown well, add liquid and aromatics, cook until a spoon meets little resistance. Deep flavour for ragù, curry and pies with mustard, lardons, white wine, thyme, olives and prunes.
