Ingredients

1 rabbit
1 tablespoon Allspice
6 onions
Salt & pepper
1 cup water
1 pound venison
3 slices smoked bacon
3 leeks with leaves (can use scallions)
1 egg
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 cup barbecue sauce
2 tablespoons honey

Preparation

Cut up rabbit.
Salt and pepper to taste, set aside.
Roughly slice 6 onions.
In dutch oven pot with lid, put 2 tablespoons of olive oil, the 6 onions and rabbit.
Add 1 cup water.
Add 1 tablespoon Allspice.
Cook for 1-1hr 30 minutes on medium heat, stir occasionally so it doesn’t stick. Add more water if needed.
While rabbit cooks prepare burgers.
Place one pound of venison in a bowl.
Finely dice three slices smoked bacon.
Finely chop 3 leeks or (optional scallions), use leaves for extra flavor.
Add 1 egg.
Salt and pepper to taste.
Mix well and make patties.
Place burgers on grill or stop top griddle. Coat with cooking oil/spray to avoid sticking.
Flip burgers only once. The burger will get a grill line midway up the patty; this lets you know they are ready to flip.
When burgers are done, set aside, cover with foil to keep warm and allow to rest.
Remove rabbit pieces from dutch oven, shred with fork, meat should fall off of bone and be nice and tender.
Cut roll or bun, place venison burger on bun, drizzle with BBQ sauce, add shredded rabbit, drizzle more BBQ sauce, place top on bun.
