crock pot is my choice....slow, low temp, long cooking.....that softens the meat
marinate a day before for better results
no recipes, sorry

I do as Lola does and it is important to marinate it. I do it with a lamb roast but you can use any meat. I grind coriander and cumin seeds, make small slits into the roast and stuff those with fresh garlic. Rub it with compliant oil and then rub the ground seeds all over. I have not used the slow cooker yet but that would be great. I use a small, electric convention oven. I take the meat out one hour before I plan on cooking it to take the chill off. Pre-heat to 400 F. and cook it for ten minutes and then I drop the temperature down to 300 F and continue until it is done. I like it rare and their are charts on the net that give you information for times, temps, well cooked, medium rare etc... If I did this in a slow cooker I would be tempted to put a piece of parchment paper on the bottom so as not to have a mess to clean.

The last time that I went hunting was in my preBTD days. I got a nice deer and had it cut up into steaks. I would marinade the steaks in Dales Marinade(probably chockfull of avoids). Then I would grill it over a hot charcoal fire just long enough for the blood to bubble to the top and flip it over about the same amount of time. Probably medium rare. Since it is lean if you were to grill it much longer it would turn to shoe leather. Never hunted bunnies, except for one that was stealing from my garden, but the grocery store across the hwy from me has them in the freezer case $$$. I have thought about raising them though.
A friend who is a hunter gave me a deer tenderloin. I did recipes searches not sure what to do with it and found this recipe which was delicious. I used spelt crumbs instead of bread crumbs and it cooked in under 10 minutes and there was no marinating.
It is called Venison Tenderloin bites and is served on a bed of arugula.
My family hunts deer and makes jerky. I do not know the exact process of drying the meat etc... it always just shows up dried and already made.
Have not made rabbit nor do I know where to purchase, elk and buffalo are the main meats available at the store other than beef. Rabbit stew seems to be a pretty easy to make recipe.
I get venison at my local grocery store. We have a local organic farmer. Rabbit you can get at http://www.uswellnessmeats.com. I've never tried rabbit yet though. I've been wanting to.

I love venison, and I learned a long time ago that it did not bother me like beef. Still wasn't on any of my diets until now, and only a black dot at that. I wouldn't cook it this way now, but steaks fried and smothered a little while in gravy were tender and delicious. And spaghetti sauce was wonderful. People who ate either of these dishes never once suspected that they were actually venison instead of beef! I've never eaten rabbit.

I tried this link but was shown that it isn't valid.

Venison roast, from Germany, red wine, thyme, garlic, parsley, onion anyother spices your fond of. Now my mom put strips of bacon over the top, covered and cooked in low temp. oven. If my husband gets a deer this year I'm going to try and baste it with walmut oil and leave off the bacon.
shows something - at the bottom of the page - that looks scrumptious: Goat cheese with hot peppers!!! Pepper jack Chèvre! Ahhh -- B Heaven! Wondering if anyone has tried this.
Edit: Oh yeah - the rabbit offerings on that site look great. Thanks, JJR.

I used to hunt all the time. It's probably how I got lymes. Well, actually, I was bit once as a kid, not hunting, and then I think the next time was when I was at a camp out, not hunting, so, I shouldn't blame that. But regardless, I LOVE venison. And my whole family does. I'm not really sure why people have this thing about it. I guess it can be kind of gamey. But my kids never once sat up in their chair and said, this meat doesn't taste right. They just eat it and go YUM. I think sometimes our mental perspective really plays havoc on our tastebuds. Of course, I can understand that, as other cultures eat foods that I don't think I'd want to. Like spiders and such.

I just ordered a gift from this company: The Game Sausage Sampler ( for an O and his A wife) Includes: Rabbit, Venison, Wild Boar, Duck a l'Armagnac, and Lamb Merguez packages. All shipping is Fed Ex Overnight on dry ice.
Well, the recipient received the package today. The enclosed packing slip contained all the right product information, but the contents were wrong:
A mixed CHICKEN sausage sampler. This is supposedly a quality, reputable company. Therefore I can only assume they will make this right by sending what I ordered to this recipient. Of course, there are probably laws about sending meat back, however, so they'll probably just have to absorb that.
I'm telling y'all so that you're careful and leave plenty of lead time for them to err again, if you're planning to order from them, so that you'll have what you need by the date you like. The online catalog is really nice. What a shame.
And this particular recipient might have turned out to be a good customer, too -- really, really likes game.

When I was young, mom made rabbit several times. All I can remember is that she made a wine sauce, but exactly what spices she used, I don't know/remember.
Dad provided the rabbit(s)! We have a pet rabbit that I collect "fertilizer" from for my "orchard"...
I would be disowned if I put one on the table now, though...
I think he lives with two girls that think they're cute and it would offend them.
