Soy Lemon Rabbit with Tomato and Strawberry Sauce

Marinating the Rabbit In a bowl, combine the soy sauce, lemon juice, and lemon zest. Add the rabbit pieces and coat them well with the marinade. Let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or overnight for best results.

Preparing the Sauce In a saucepan, combine the diced tomatoes, sliced strawberries, soy sauce, sugar, and balsamic vinegar. Cook over medium heat until the strawberries are softened and the tomatoes break down, about 10 minutes. In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with water to make a slurry. Add the slurry to the saucepan and stir well. Cook for another 2 minutes, or until the sauce thickens.

Frying the Rabbit In a deep fryer or large pot, heat oil to 350°F (175°C). Remove the rabbit pieces from the marinade, allowing any excess marinade to drip off. Carefully place the rabbit pieces into the hot oil and fry until golden brown and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes per side. Remove from the fryer and drain on paper towels.

Finishing the Dish Serve the fried rabbit with the tomato and strawberry sauce. Garnish with fresh herbs, if desired. Enjoy!
