Rabbit Stew Recipe

Healthy and Light
Here's a great Mediterranean Rabbit Stew Recipe with pictures that we developed to
take advantage of the light and tasty meat, combined with fresh,
seasonal vegetables and tasty Mediterranean herbs and spices.
How do we know the vegetables are seasonal?
Easy, we only buy what's on sale in our local market that day.
Rabbit is an ideal alternative to chicken, specially here by the
Mediterranean where it is cheap and freely available. The meat is
tender, juicy and just a little stronger in flavour than chicken - in
fact, if you don't like the idea of cooking rabbit - a good, free range
chicken will do just as well.
Either way, just follow the step-by-step instructions below for a
wonderful, healthy and easy evening meal or lunch.
The ingredients will serve Two
as a hearty meal or Four
as a light
supper, with a crunchy, fluffy baked potato.
Ingredients
- One medium Rabbit - about 1.25 kilo/2-1/2 lb.
Cut into eight roughly equal pieces
- One medium onion - chopped
- Four clove of garlic - chopped
- Two medium carrots sliced (see pics)
- One eggplant/aubergine roughly chopped
- Two large mushrooms - thickly sliced

separately (chopped)
- One three inch cinammon stick
- 1/4 Teaspoon of Chilli flakes
- Three or four bay leaves
- Half a bottle of dry white wine
- Olive oil - salt and pepper
Method
OK - first brown all the rabbit in about two tablespoons of olive oil,
then take out of the pan and leave to one side.
Add the other ingredients (minus - bay leaves, peas, tomatoes and
celery leaves), and brown.
Add Rabbit, wine, herbes de provence, bay leaves and cinammon.
Cook covered for twenty minutes
Add the tomato, peas and chopped celery leaves.
Cook covered for a further ten minutes.
