Rabbit Stew

Back to Proteins

Low fat and tasty.  Season your dredging flour with  Herbes De Provence, substitute raisins for the dried apricots if you have no apricots on hand, or use a combination of both.

Ingredients:

1 rabbit, skinned and jointed (cut into 4 or 5 pieces)
1/4 cup all-purpose flour seasoned with 1 tsp Herbes de Provence (see Herbes De Provence)
2 Tbsp canola or peanut oil
1 large onion, sliced
3 carrots, sliced
3 small to medium potatoes, cut into chunks
2 cups no salt added beef stock
1 glass red wine (be generous)
1/2 cup dried apricots, halved
 

Procedure:

Heat oil in a large skillet.  Dredge rabbit pieces in the flour (reserve any leftover flour for the roux) and fry in the oil until golden brown on both sides, about 6 to 8 minutes.  Transfer rabbit pieces to a large casserole dish or Dutch Oven.  Add the vegetables to the saute/fry pan and cook for about 5 minutes, or until the onions are soft and translucent.  Using a slotted spoon, transfer the vegetable onto the rabbit in the casserole and set the dish aside.  Make a roux in the hot pan drippings in the fry/saute pan, by adding the remains of the drdging flour, stirring until smooth.  Gradually stir in the beef stock, wine and apricots.  Heat about 3 minutes or until the sauce boils and thickens, then pour over the rabbit/vegetable mixture in the casserole or Dutch Oven.  Cover and bake about 1 hour at 350 F
