Stewed rabbit with potatoes

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 1 hr 20 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to cook stewed rabbit with potatoes? Prepare all ingredients. For stewing, use any part of the rabbit. I took the front one, the bottom one - I left the fattier one for baking. Use any spices to suit your taste. If you use ready-made mixtures, be sure to read the ingredients on the package. Often such mixtures already contain salt, take this into account, otherwise you risk oversalting the dish. Boil the water first, it should be hot.

2. STEP 2

   

   Carefully inspect the surface of the rabbit carcass for the presence of fur residues and remove. Rinse under running water and cut into portions using a knife. You should not use an ax because bone fragments may get stuck in the meat. For stewing, use either a cauldron or, like me, a frying pan with a thick bottom and high walls. Heat a frying pan with vegetable oil and fry the rabbit on both sides until lightly browned.

3. STEP 3

   

   Pour hot water over the rabbit, add half the salt, spices and tomato paste. Simmer over medium heat, covered, for about 20 minutes. During this time, approximately half of the broth should evaporate.

4. STEP 4

   

   While the rabbit is stewing, start preparing the vegetables. Wash and peel the carrots and onions well. Cut the onion into half rings or smaller ones, carrots into large or medium pieces.

5. STEP 5

   

   Peel, wash and cut the potatoes into large pieces.

6. STEP 6

   

   When half of the broth has evaporated, add onions and carrots to the rabbit. Stir and simmer, covered, for 15 minutes. Set the heat to medium or low. Keep in mind that I indicate the time approximately - everyone's stove is different. Taste the dish as you prepare it.

7. STEP 7

   

   Then add the potatoes, add salt (if necessary) and simmer for another 20 minutes.

8. STEP 8

   

   When the potatoes are ready, remove the dish from the heat. You can check the readiness of the potatoes in the following way: pierce the potato with a knife; if, when you lift it, the potato falls back, it means it’s ready; if it rises on the knife, simmer for a while and check again.

I was treated to a rabbit, so I immediately started looking on the website for recipes for preparing this dietary meat. I used the author’s example and stewed the front part of the rabbit, and also added the hind legs. The meat was fresh, so I soaked it in cold water for a couple of hours to get out any remaining blood. By the way, once I also cooked rabbit meat and I was advised to soak it in water with the addition of salt and vinegar. The meat has become tough and sour, so I don’t recommend doing this, it’s better to just do it in cold water. The rabbit with onions and carrots was stewed in a cauldron for about forty minutes; after adding the potatoes, it was stewed for another twenty minutes. Instead of tomato paste I added homemade ketchup. The children liked this dish the most, which I am very happy about) The rabbit with potatoes really turned out very tasty, the sauce was sweetish, the meat was soft, juicy, tender. Thank you very much for the recipe, I recommend it to everyone!
