Rabbit with vegetables, stewed in wine
4 servings
60 minutes
This exquisite rabbit stew recipe with vegetables in red wine has roots in traditional rural kitchens where meat was simmered in aromatic marinades for depth of flavor. Rabbit infused with rosemary, garlic, and pepper becomes tender and juicy, while the vegetables add richness and texture to the dish. The wine, blending with vegetable broth, creates a harmonious sauce with a subtle tang and herbal notes. The dish pairs wonderfully with a crispy baguette or fluffy mashed potatoes, and its rich flavor unfolds with a glass of dry red wine. It is not just food but a gastronomic journey that combines tradition and modern taste, making it an ideal choice for a cozy dinner with loved ones.
