1 (3 pound) rabbit, cleaned and cut into pieces
1 3/4 teaspoons salt
1 tablespoon ground black pepper
1/4 cup vegetable oil
4 teaspoons white sugar
1 onion, chopped
3/4 cup ketchup
1 clove garlic, chopped
1 tablespoon paprika
1 1/2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 cup water
Preparations:
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Season the rabbit with salt and pepper. Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the rabbit pieces and brown on all sides. Place in a 9x13 inch baking dish. In a medium bowl, combine the sugar, onion, ketchup, garlic, paprika, soy sauce and water; pour over the rabbit.
Bake uncovered for 90 minutes in the preheated oven, basting frequently. Meat should be very tender when done.
