Best 9 Slow Cooked Rabbit Stew Recipes

CROCK POT RABBIT STEW

Steps:

• Grind pepper over the rabbit and place in the crock pot.
• Combine all other ingredients EXCEPT FLOUR in a large bowl, mix well and pour over the rabbit.
• Cover and cook on low for 6 hours for a small rabbit, or up to 8 hours for a large rabbit. Actually cook for half an hour less as below.
• Thirty minutes before ready blend flour with 1/2 cup of water until it is a smooth paste, add to the pot and stir well to thicken and continue cooking covered for a further 30 minutes.
• Give it a good stir and allow to rest 10-15 minutes before serving.
• At this point the rabbit should be so tender that you can tear pieces off with a fork to serve rather than cut. Just scoop it all out onto a plate.
• You'll end up with bones in the dish so eat much like you would a fish dish being careful for bones. Serve along with a nice crusty roll to soak up the juices.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 150C/130C fan/gas 2. Put the prunes in a bowl with the brandy and brown sugar, stir, then set aside to soak.

• Pour in the red wine and scrape all the goodness off the bottom of the dish. Add the chicken stock and put the rabbit back in the dish with the boozy prunes, then cover and cook for 2 hrs, stirring occasionally, until the rabbit is totally tender. Serve scattered with parsley and wild rice on the side.

RABBIT STEW

Steps:

• Cut up a rabbit or use rabbit legs and other cuts. Place in a large bowl. Season with salt, pepper, juniper berries, oregano, olive oil, and crushed garlic cloves. Rub the seasoning into the meat and set aside for 15 minutes (or place in the fridge overnight) to marinate.
• Sprinkle all-purpose flour over a baking sheet. Coat the meat in the flour, discarding the rest. Place a large skillet over high heat. Add four tablespoons of olive oil. Pan-fry the meat in two alternations, making sure that the meat doesn't overcrowd the pan. Cook for 3- 4 minutes per side, or until it's beautifully golden-brown. Transfer to a plate. Discard the oil and place the same skillet back on the high heat. Save the herbs from the marinating for later use.
• Add the white wine to the same skillet, and using a spoon, stir well in the bottom of the pan, to scrape out those delicious pan-frying flavors. Bring the wine to a boil, then simmer for 3 - 4 minutes for the alcohol to evaporate. Transfer to a small bowl and set aside until needed.
• Place a Cast Iron Dutch Oven over medium-low heat. Peel the celery, carrots, and onion and cut them into larger chunks. Add butter to the pot along with the prepared vegetables. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the all-purpose flour and tomato paste. Stir and cook for 3 - 4 minutes for the flour to cook.
• Add the dried porcini, olives, capers, and herbs (thyme, sage, parsley, and bay leaf) to a pot. Gradually pour in the vegetable broth (or water) and white wine, stirring continuously for the flour to incorporate into the liquid. Add the pan-fried meat, saved herbs from the marinade, and bring to a boil. Then lower the heat, cover with a lid, and cook over low heat for 1 hour. Remove the lid, add the prunes and cook uncovered for another 30 - 40 minutes, or until the meat is tender and juicy.
• Remove the stew from the heat. Season with salt and pepper and sprinkle with diced parsley. Divide between six plates and serve with your favorite side dish.
