rabbit with beer and prunes

2021-09-30

This is nearly identical to rabbit with prunes.
This was a purchased rabbit though instead of one that I raised myself. Much smaller, only about 2 lbs. instead of going on 6. But still enough for 4 servings with some moderation.

This is exactly the same recipe I use for Flemish beef stew.
The rabbit gives it its own special taste though.

INGREDIENTS

This is what you need for 4 servings:

1 cleaned rabbit, 2 lbs.
1 lb. pitted dried prunes
1 bottle Guinness extra stout
S&P

Pic1: rabbit with beer and prunes, boiled potatoes

Pic2+3: brown
Pic4: beer & prunes

Part the rabbit: 2 front legs, 2 back legs, 2 loin pieces, chest and neck.
Brown the pieces in olive oil or butter.

Pic5: add beer, prunes
Pic6: stir
Pic7: stew

Pour the beer over the rabbit pieces. Add enough water to cover the meat for at least 2/3rds.
Add prunes.
Mix. Bring to a boil. Season to taste.
Reduce heat. Cover and simmer over low heat for 1-2 hrs.
It should be easy to pull the meat off the bones & the sauce should have turned dark brown.
Take care to add more water if the prunes start looking dry enough to stick and burn.

Pic8-10: served

Serve and enjoy.
