Tips:

  • Marinate the rabbit: Marinating the rabbit in a mixture of olive oil, garlic, herbs, and spices will help to tenderize the meat and add flavor.
  • Brown the rabbit: Browning the rabbit before stewing it will help to develop flavor and color.
  • Use a good quality stock: The stock you use will greatly affect the flavor of the stew, so use a good quality stock or make your own.
  • Add vegetables: Vegetables such as carrots, celery, onions, and tomatoes will add flavor and nutrition to the stew.
  • Use fresh herbs: Fresh herbs such as thyme, rosemary, and marjoram will add a delicious flavor to the stew.
  • Cook the stew slowly: Stewing the rabbit slowly will allow the flavors to develop and the meat to become tender.
