Expand your kitchen skills in this duck and rabbit butchery class! These two game meats are accessible and often sustainably raised, but they can be intimidating too. What’s the best way to get a sear on a duck breast, like they do in restaurants? How do you make rillettes, and how do I turn this whole rabbit into perfectly jointed pieces for stewing or frying? In this hands-on class you will learn the answer to all those questions and more. Following the butchery portion, there will be a brief demo and a light meal of homemade charcuterie. Participants will leave with some locally raised duck and rabbit parts to prepare at home! This event is BYOB.
The CMC is doing things a little differently in 2025! We will be offering quarterly, long form workshops, each focused on a different protein. These will be in-depth, feature sessions by collaborators including local chefs and butchers, and include meals and refreshments. Each workshop will include hands-on butchery instruction with a small class size, as always! Our next workshop will be on April 05, 2025 and will feature lamb. Tickets are now live!
In the meantime, if you’re looking to learn from us, please reach out to mccullough@chicagomeatcollective.com to inquire about private classes. You can view some private class options here.
