I am so happy that I can share this recipe with you! Cause it is simply awesome. It is so delicious, so crispy, so beautiful... I am sure that your family or friends will be impressed. So lets start. For this gorgeous dish you will need:

• 1 rabbit, divided in pieces;
• 1 clove of garlic, divided in cloves;
• cup of stock (chicken, rabbit or vegetable stock);
• salt;
• pepper;
• splash of olive oil;
• 1 egg;
• cup of flour;
• handful of hard cheese (Parmigiano Reggiano is best option);
• 6 branches of rosemary;
• cup of panko crumbs;
• 4 potatoes;
• oil for frying (vegetable, sunflower oil etc.).

   So, first step is prepare rabbit meat for frying. Put rabbit, garlic, 4 branches of rosemary, stock, pinch of salt and pepper, splash of olive oil in the pot.

   Put the lid on the pot, and pot on the stove. When  it comes to a boil, reduce heat to low and let it simmer for 1 hour 15 minutes to 1 hour 30 minutes, till meat is  tender and almost falls from the bone.

   During this time, peel potatoes and cut in to strips. Wash all starch from potatoes and let it sit in cold water with salt (you can prepare this ahead of time).

   When meat is tender, take it of the stock and let to cold.

   Strain off potato strips and drain it. Then add splash of olive oil, pinch of salt and pepper and branch of rosemary divided in strips. Bake potatoes in one layer in preheated 200 °C oven till they are tender and golden.

   While potatoes are cooking, prepare beaten egg, flour and hard cheese mixed with panko crumbs and rosemary (from one branch) in different plates.

   Coat rabbit pieces in flour, then in egg and crumbs.

   Put meat aside to dry a bit, while oil is preheated. Fry rabbit pieces in hot oil till they are crispy and golden. Serve rabbit pieces with potatoes strips and slice of lemon.

Enjoy!
