Rabbit baked with sour cream and cheese is a tender dish of Russian cuisine that embodies coziness and home warmth. Historically, rabbit meat was valued in Russia for its tenderness and dietary properties. In this recipe, rabbit legs are first fried to a golden crust and then baked in the oven, soaking up the creamy tenderness of sour cream and the zest of cheese. Onion adds a sweet aroma, while layers of ingredients ensure a rich flavor. The finished dish is juicy with an appetizing golden crust. It pairs excellently with mashed potatoes or fresh vegetables, creating a balanced and nutritious treat perfect for family dinners or festive gatherings.
