Directions
-
Place the whole rabbit in a large pot and cover with one quart of salted water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until the meat is tender and cooked through.
-
Remove the rabbit from the broth and let it cool enough to handle. Chop the meat into bite-sized cubes, discarding bones and skin, and return the meat to the reserved broth.
-
Add the chopped onion, minced garlic, celery, carrots, cubed potatoes, and bouillon cubes to the pot with the rabbit.
-
Return the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.
-
Stir in the frozen vegetables and the chicken gravy mix (prepared according to package directions with 1/2 cup water) into the pot. Bring to a gentle boil to combine and thicken slightly.
-
Remove the pot from heat and let the filling cool slightly. Pour the mixture into a pre-baked pie shell.
-
Cover the filling with the second pie crust. Crimp the edges to seal, and cut a few slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.
-
Place the pie on a baking sheet and bake in a preheated oven at 375&# 194;°F (190ðC) for 20-25 minutes, or until the top crust is golden brown and flaky.
