Spring is having identity issues this year. It's still cold as fuck outside, so I wanted something braised and nice and warm.
So this week's cook-along is for a nice rabbit stew with barley.
Ingredients
1 rabbit, cut in serving pieces
2 table spoon flour
salt and pepper
1 tea spoon paprika
olive oil
150g spicy pancetta
1 onion, diced
1 garlic clove, minced
1 fennel buld, cored and sliced
2 cups white wine
1 table spoon tomato paste
2 table spoon barley
1 sprig of fresh rosemary
I am so fucking ready for this

3. Warm some oil in the bottom of a dutch oven or french faitout.
Sear on both sides to get some color. Work in batches,

4. While that's going, dice up the pancetta.

5. When all the rabbit has been colored, set it aside.

6. Lower the heat to a medium-low and throw the pancetta into the pot. It will smoke. A lot.

7. Cook, stirring often, until most of the fat has been rendered out.

9. Cook until the onions are translucent and the fennel starts to soften. Add the tomato paste.

10. Add the wine, scrapping up anything stuck at the bottom of the pot.
>>7673244
where did you buy your rabbit, op?
11. Nestle the rabbit back into the pot, making sure it's as much under the liquid as possible.
>>7673248
Local butcher shop. My grocery store carries whole rabbits too, but I wanted to butcher to cut into serving pieces for me (I readily admit I have no butchering skills).

12. Bring to a boil, then lower to a simmer. Add the barley.
>>7673257
13. Cover and simmer for 45 minutes. Then remove the lid and continue to simmer for a further 30 minutes (to allow the sauce to reduce)
>>7673260
14. Serve with good crusty bread to soak up the sauce.
Enjoy!
