• 2 pounds rabbit
• 3 medium carrots
• 3 celery stalks
• 4 medium potatoes
• 1 large onion
• 3 garlic cloves
• 4 cups chicken broth
• 2 tablespoons tomato paste
• 2 tablespoons olive oil

📝 Instructions

9 steps

1. Begin by cutting the rabbit into portion-sized pieces if it isn't already prepared. Pat the pieces dry with a paper towel.

2. In a shallow dish, combine the flour, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper. Dredge the rabbit pieces in the seasoned flour, coating each piece evenly.

3. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, sear the rabbit pieces on all sides until golden brown (about 2-3 minutes per side). Transfer the browned rabbit pieces to the crock pot.

4. Peel and chop the carrots, celery, and potatoes into bite-sized pieces. Dice the onion and mince the garlic cloves. Add all the vegetables, including the garlic, to the crock pot.

5. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the chicken broth, tomato paste, remaining salt, pepper, thyme, rosemary, and white wine (if using). Pour this mixture over the rabbit and vegetables in the crock pot.

6. Add the bay leaves to the crock pot and give everything a gentle stir to distribute the ingredients evenly.

7. Cover the crock pot with the lid and cook on low heat for 6-8 hours, or until the rabbit meat is tender and falls off the bone, and the vegetables are fully cooked.

8. Before serving, remove the bay leaves and sprinkle the stew with fresh parsley for garnish.

9. Serve the rabbit stew hot, either on its own or with crusty bread on the side to soak up the broth. Enjoy!
