Rabbit and Prune Stew
Yes, they do look sweet and cuddly, but the truth is that man has been eating rabbits since we were living in caves. The real news is that they have amazing nutritional benefits.
In this recipe, which comes from Tuscany, they're cooked with prunes that give the meat a wonderfully sweet flavour and makes the whole dish a real health treat.
1 onion, finely chopped
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
4 tbsp olive oil
1 rabbit, jointed
3 tbsp wholemeal flour
200 ml/ 7 fl oz red wine
12 prunes, stones removed
3 bay leaves
Soften the onion and garlic in the oil and remove from the pan.
Roll the rabbit in the flour, add to the pan and brown all over.
Put back the onion and garlic, add the wine, prunes and bay leaves.
Bring to a boil and simmer for an hour or until the meat is tender, adding more wine (or water) if it looks as if it's drying out.
Rich in antioxidants from the prunes, the richest cancer-fighting food you'll find; virtually fat-free protein from the rabbit; more antioxidants from the red wine; digestion-stimulating volatile oils from the bay leaves.
