What each ingredient does
- Rabbit
- Provides the main protein; boiling first softens the meat before frying.
- Oil
- Conducts heat for frying and drives browning on the outside of the pieces.
The step that matters
Fry the pieces in oil until golden brown. The pieces are already cooked by boiling, so frying is only for color and crispness. Frying too long or too hot can dry the meat and burn the surface before the browning is even.
