Rabbit Azu
Description
The dish is prepared without unnecessary complications. The recipe doesn't require special culinary skills, and if you follow all the recommendations, you'll end up with a delicious main course. There are many variations of azu, but this particular recipe has become one of our family's favorites. I hope you'll enjoy it too! Rabbit meat is low-fat, dietary, easily digestible, white meat (with little myoglobin), and high in protein. Thanks to these qualities, rabbit dishes can be eaten daily. To make the rabbit meat tender and juicy, I suggest marinating it beforehand. It turns out very tender and delicious! Be sure to save this recipe. The ready dish can now be served.
