Roasted rabbit carcass makes a delicious wild game flavored condensed broth to make gravy to serve over potato mash dinners, like kale, mustard greens, spinach, apple, carrot. When broth is condensed to be strong, the extract is called a fond. Freeze in cup size ziplock bags. The gravy made from this fond is fresh for three days. One cup of rabbit gravy flavors a whole dinner for two.

I teach people at the farmers market to grow small scale fruits and vegetables. My grandparents and parents taught me growing, cooking and preserving home grown fruits and vegetables, eggs, meats and fish. I got certified by the University of California Master Gardener Program in 2005. I try to bring out the original flavor of ingredients, then add layers of spices, herbs and flavorings that enhance, not distort the taste. These are the global, organic and vegan family recipes we use.
