Easy recipe for rabbit

[2littlegreenmonkeys]

I have never tried rabbit before but a friend is bringing me a couple later on. They have already been de-furred and have had the insides taken out.

I have never cooked rabbit before and wondered if anyone had a easy peasy recipe for me to try.

Also if you have tried rabbit, is it nice? I hope the DD's like it lol.

I actually took all the meat off the bone, so could munch without worrying about lil bits. Bit of a faff tho.
