Rabbit meat is a lean white meat with a mild flavour and low-fat content, rich in high-quality protein. It is suitable for roasting, stewing and grilling, adapting to different cooking methods and culinary applications across various market segments.
The whole rabbit comes from the complete animal, cleaned and prepared for cooking, including all its parts. It has white, lean meat with a firm texture and a distinctive flavour. It should be roasted, stewed or braised, using slow cooking to preserve tenderness. It is used in traditional dishes such as oven-roasted rabbit, hunter-style rabbit or stews, where the flavour and consistency of the meat are highlighted.
The rabbit leg corresponds to the hind limbs of the animal, one of the most muscular parts. It is characterised by firm, lean meat with a more intense flavour. It should be cooked through stewing, braising or roasting, allowing a tender texture. It is often used in dishes such as braised rabbit, rabbit rice or oven preparations that showcase cuts with greater consistency.

As it is a very lean meat, the secret is not to overcook it. When roasting, it is recommended to use marinades or add ingredients that add moisture, such as vegetables or white wine, to preserve the tenderness of the meat.
Like chicken, rabbit must be cooked to an internal temperature of at least 71° C to ensure the elimination of any microbiological risk. When stored, it must be kept strictly between 0° C and 4° C, separate from cooked food to avoid cross-contamination.
Rabbit offers excellent yield, with a relatively low bone-to-meat ratio and almost no fat waste. This translates into a more controlled cost per serving and full utilisation of the carcass, from the loins for main courses to the bone-in cuts for rich broths and rice dishes.
