Rabbit

Several months ago, fresh rabbit meat arrived in town. I am ashamed to admit that we've only made rabbit stew once, but it was delicious, and even the small one loved it.


I don't have an exact recipe, but basically we browned a few slices of bacon in a pan and removed them. Then we jointed our rabbit into 8 pieces, dredged it in flour, salt and pepper, and then browned it in bacon fat. We removed it from the pan and added a large onion, diced, and six cloves of garlic (whole). We sprinkled them with some flour, added a few tbsp. of doppio concentrato, some generous glops of wine, put the rabbit and diced bacon back in, sprinkled the whole thing with some thyme and then sat it on a low-heat burner for a long, long time.


The meat fell off the bone; we almost fell off our chairs with fullness.


Very much worth trying again.
