120 minutes

Rabbit stewed with vegetables and paprika is a refined dish of Russian cuisine that combines tender rabbit meat with aromatic vegetables and spices. Stewing allows the meat to become soft and absorb the flavors of onion, carrot, and potato, creating a rich and deep taste. Bay leaf and allspice add warm, spicy notes to the dish, while sweet paprika adds a hint of zest. This dish is perfect for both family dinners and festive tables, with fresh herbs giving it a finished look. Historically, rabbit has always been valued for its dietary benefits and delicate flavor; in Russian cooking, it was often prepared by stewing with vegetables to preserve the natural taste qualities of the meat while enhancing them with a wealth of spices.
