HASENFEFFER (SOUR RABBIT STEW)



Hasenfeffer (Sour Rabbit Stew) image

Original German rabbit stew recipe passed down from my great-grandmother who immigrated to US in 1889. This is a lot of work to make but well worth it. It is an acquired taste dish; once hooked, you can't get enough. Serve with fresh mashed potatoes and celery sticks. Use the stock as gravy for mashed potatoes. Always tastes better as leftovers. Hope you enjoy!

Time 10h15m

Yield 5

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 ¾ cups red wine vinegar
3 cups water
1 ½ tablespoons white sugar
8 whole cloves
1 medium onion, thinly sliced
5 stalks celery, chopped
1 lemon, thinly sliced
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon ground cloves
1 tablespoon salt
1 teaspoon pickling spice
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 (2 1/2 pound) rabbit, cleaned and cut into pieces
3 tablespoons vegetable oil

Steps:

  • In a large pot, combine the water, white sugar, whole cloves, onion, celery, lemon, cinnamon, ground cloves, salt, pickling spice and black pepper. Bring to a boil, then turn off and allow to cool. Place the rabbit pieces into the mixture to marinate. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spread flour out onto a parchment or aluminum foil lined baking sheet. Bake for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the flour is a light brown color.
  • Remove the rabbit from the marinade and pat dry. Strain the marinade, and discard the solids. Reserve the liquid for later.
  • Heat the oil in a deep skillet or Dutch oven over medium heat. Coat the chicken with the toasted flour. Place into the hot oil, and cook until browned on both sides. Remove from the pan, and set aside. If there is oil left in the pan, sprinkle enough of the toasted flour over it to absorb the liquid.
  • In a jar with a lid, mix 1/2 cup of the marinade with 1/4 cup of the remaining toasted flour. Close the lid, and shake vigorously until well blended with no lumps. Heat the pan with the rabbit drippings over low heat. Gradually stir in the marinade mixture, stirring constantly until slightly thickened.
  • Return the rabbit pieces to the pan. Cover and simmer over low heat for 1 hour, or until the meat is falling off of the bones. You may remove the bones prior to serving if desired.

BEST BRAISED RABBIT



Best Braised Rabbit image

This recipe comes up annually during Oktoberfest at our house. We love it. It is true German comfort food hunter style! Based on a recipe from Bernard Clayton's Cooking Across America. He says, "If wild rabbits are not at hand, try domestic ones. Either way, delicious, especially when served with potato pancakes, rye bread, and beer." It calls for a 5-quart roaster or flameproof casserole with tight-fitting lid; I use my Dutch oven.

Time 2h30m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

6 -8 slices bacon, finely chopped
2 rabbits, wild if possible, otherwise domestic
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
1/2 cup flour
1/2 cup onion, finely chopped
3/4 cup red wine vinegar
1 cup chicken stock, preferably homemade
1 bay leaf

Steps:

  • Heat the roaster or casserole over moderate heat and cook the bacon, stirring and turning it frequently, until crisp, about 10 minutes. Drain on paper towels. Set the pan with bacon fat aside for a few moments.
  • Cut the rabbit into serving pieces. Cut away and discard the belly meat.
  • Add the salt, pepper, and flour to a brown paper bag. Add a few rabbit pieces to the bag and shake to coat with flour mixture; repeat with remaining rabbit pieces.
  • Preheat the oven to 325°F.
  • Heat the reserved bacon fat in the pan over high heat until it sputters.
  • Brown the rabbit pieces on all sides, in batches; this should take about 10 minutes. Transfer them to a serving plate.
  • Pour off all but 2 tablespoon of fat and cook the onions in it until they are soft and translucent. Pour in the vinegar and chicken stock and add the bay leaf. Bring to a boil over high heat, scraping up any browned bits clinging to the bottom and sides of the pan.
  • Return the rabbit with juices to the roaster or casserole. Add the drained bacon. Cover the vessel tightly, and simmer for 1 1/2 hours, or until the rabbits are tender but not falling apart.
  • Serve the rabbit directly from the roaster or casserole, or arrange the pieces attractively on a heated platter.

Tips:

  • For the most flavorful hasenpfeffer, use a wild rabbit. If you can't find wild rabbit, you can use domestic rabbit, but it will be less flavorful.
  • Be sure to soak the rabbit in vinegar overnight before cooking. This will help to tenderize the meat and remove any gamey flavor.
  • Brown the rabbit pieces well before adding them to the stew. This will help to develop flavor and color.
  • Use a variety of vegetables in your stew. This will add flavor and texture to the dish.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different spices and herbs. Hasenpfeffer is a versatile dish that can be customized to your own taste.
  • Serve hasenpfeffer with mashed potatoes, dumplings, or spätzle.

Conclusion:

Hasenpfeffer is a delicious and hearty stew that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is a traditional German dish that is made with rabbit, vinegar, and spices. If you are looking for a new and exciting dish to try, hasenpfeffer is a great option.
