Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Orzo

    In a pot of boiling salted water, cook the orzo according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Rabbit

    Season the rabbit pieces with salt and pepper. Dredge each piece in flour, shaking off any excess.

  3. 3

    Pan-Roast the Rabbit

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the rabbit pieces and cook for about 4-5 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the rabbit from the skillet and set aside.

  4. 4

    Make the Lemon Caper Butter Sauce

    In the same skillet, lower the heat to medium. Add butter and minced garlic. Sauté until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes. Stir in lemon juice and capers, cooking for another 2 minutes.

  5. 5

    Combine and Serve

    Return the rabbit to the skillet, coating it in the lemon caper sauce. Serve the rabbit over the cooked orzo, garnished with fresh parsley.
