Braised Rabbit with Egg NoodlesGeorge Whiteside

More supermarkets are carrying fresh rabbit, as people rediscover its delicate flavor. Braising helps to keep it moist and tender. If you have trouble finding rabbit, however, you can substitute bone-in chicken, skin removed.

Cooks' note:

Rabbit can be braised 1 day ahead and cooled, uncovered, then chilled, covered. Reheat on top of stove until hot.
