This is easily my family's favorite way to eat rabbit. Usually, I butcher in large batches so I reserve the loins/saddles for this recipe and use the legs in something else, but if you're making a small batch be sure to cook your meat, then debone it, then shred it. I'm all about my Insta-Pot but this can easily be done in the crock pot as well. Serve this on buns or rolls, or over rice. Cheese makes a nice addition as well.
