On Saturday, I told Jimmy that I would cook dinner for his family. We went to the grocery store and I asked him what he wanted. He said he wanted something wild. We walked past the butcher and Jimmy spotted a rabbit. He told me that he wanted rabbit stew. So I created my own rabbit stew recipe!
Rabbit Stew
Ingredients:
The meat from one rabbit
2 tablespoons olive oil
4 cups water
3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 clove of garlic, peeled and chopped
1 bay leaf
1 medium onion, sliced
1 teaspoon each of salt and pepper
1 1/2 teaspoons chopped rosemary
2 teaspoons paprika
5 large carrots, sliced
5 ribs celery, chopped
2 tablespoons cornstarch
Directions:
1. Brown the meat in the oil. Add water, Worcestershire sauce, garlic, bay leaf, onion, salt and pepper, rosemary, and paprika. Cover and simmer for about 30 minutes. Remove bay leaf.
2. Add carrots and celery. Cover and simmer for another 30 minutes. Combine 1/4 cup of water and cornstarch until smooth. Add some of the hot liquid into the corn starch mixture. Add cornstarch mixture to to pot and cook until bubbly. Enjoy!
The verdict? It was delicious and I think rabbit tastes a lot like chicken, only sweeter and lighter–if that makes sense?! I’d definitely make it again!
Would you try rabbit stew?
Living My Full Life 
Hmmm I’m not sure how I feel about the rabbit, but the picture of you guys cooking is pretty cute 🙂
I have never had rabbit before but have been dying to try it
I’ve never had rabbit and won’t be trying it, but it’s really cool how adventurous you guys were to see it and just make it on a whim when you’ve never cooked it or had it before. Plus I love the pic of you guys cooking.
Disgusting… Sorry honey, you know my feelings about this. Please don’t tell me next time!!
I agree!
I tried it once and I just couldn’t stop thinking how it was a bunny. Nope, not for me!!! I’m super impressed with your skills though!
I love rabbit! Wild, shot on the farm. 🙂
I think I would try eating it for sure-not sure making it though. I love that he said something wild and rabbit stew it was LOL.
Rabbit is definitely not something that my supermarket would ever sell, which I guess is kind of strange since I live in New England. But the wildest we get in the supermarket is bison meat! LOL! I’d probably try rabbit someday, if I had the chance, because as much as I adore animals, I don’t think they’re just for pets. (As in I do love me a good cheeseburger now and again). 😉 But I don’t think I’d be brave enough to try cooking it. Ha, ha.
I love that picture of you two in the kichen! For whatever reason I thought you were a vegetarian. But either way, rabbit looks like it would be pretty good!
I LOVE rabbit!!! I ate it all the way through Italy. And boar. Have you had that? So good.
I don’t know if I’ve ever had rabbit, but I’d definitely try it!
Very cool girlfriend.
Woah, ambitious! I hope Jimmy’s family was impressed 🙂
I’ve never even seen rabbit meat! How cool!!!
I don’t think I’ve ever noticed rabbit in the store before???
I know you mean well Allie, but that’s disgusting.
Why?
Because it’s rabbit. If I ate that. (althought it does look yummy) it would be rabbit canabelism.
