Stopped at the market yesterday and picked up some local ingredients for a Throwdown. I chose some Rabbit to grind with some fresh pork chunks to make a Cheese Burger Hoppy Meal.

Here is the bunny!

It's a Bosch brand mixer/slicer/grinder all in one. Good for small batches not really for large grinds in excess of 5 lbs or so!

Looks good.

The bun was from a batch I made earlier in the week. Whole wheat flour, yeast, and salt. French bread dough but I didn't let it proof as long as I do for bread loaves.

Lots of rabbit (Lapin) on the menu here. It's sold in every market. Very lean white meat and a clean non primal flavor. First time I had it was in Spain in Paella. Really nice.
