👨🍳 Yapılışı
- 1
Pat the rabbit pieces dry and season generously with salt and pepper. Dredge the rabbit pieces in flour, shaking off any excess.
- 2
In a large Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot, melt the butter over medium-high heat. Brown the rabbit pieces on all sides until golden. Remove the rabbit from the pot and set aside.
- 3
Add the diced bacon to the pot and cook until crisp. Remove the bacon with a slotted spoon and set aside, leaving the rendered fat in the pot.
- 4
Add the chopped onions to the pot and sauté in the bacon fat until softened and lightly caramelized, about 8-10 minutes.
- 5
Return the browned rabbit pieces to the pot. Add the dark Belgian beer, water, sugar (or jam), bay leaves, thyme sprigs, and cloves. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the rabbit is very tender.
- 6
Stir in the cooked bacon and the pitted prunes. Continue to simmer, uncovered, for another 15-20 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly and the prunes to soften.
- 7
If a thicker sauce is desired, mix the cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of water to form a slurry. Stir the slurry into the stew and simmer for a few more minutes until thickened.

Remove the bay leaves and thyme sprigs before serving. Season with additional salt and pepper to taste. Serve hot, traditionally with mashed potatoes or crusty bread.
