👨🍳 Yapılışı
- 1
Season the rabbit pieces generously with salt and pepper. Dredge the pieces in flour, shaking off any excess.
💡 Profesyonel İpuçları: Ensure all pieces are evenly coated in flour. - 2
Melt the butter in a large, heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven 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 chopped onions to the same pot and sauté until softened and lightly caramelized, about 5-7 minutes.
- 4
Deglaze the pot with the dark Belgian beer, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom. Bring to a simmer.
💡 Profesyonel İpuçları: Using a wooden spoon helps to scrape up all the flavorful bits. - 5
Return the browned rabbit pieces to the pot. Add the bay leaves, thyme sprigs, red wine vinegar, sugar, and nutmeg. Add enough water to almost cover the rabbit pieces.
- 6
Bring the stew to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer gently for about 2 hours, or until the rabbit is very tender. Stir occasionally.
- 7
Add the soaked and drained prunes to the stew during the last 30 minutes of cooking.
- 8
Remove the bay leaves and thyme sprigs before serving. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
💡 Profesyonel İpuçları: The sauce should be rich and slightly thickened. If it's too thin, you can simmer uncovered for a few minutes to reduce it.
