German Wine Braised Rabbit Stew (Hasenpfeffer)

It's the year of the rabbit. What better way to celebrate than to eat one? LindySez makes a traditional wine-braised rabbit dish, known as Hasenpfeffer. Low-cal, delicious and really rather easy to prepare.

Cripes! I watched this whole video, and took notes, but in the end - no stew! Or maybe I don't know the true meaning of the word. I expected a bowl full of delicious gravy, veggies, and rabbit. Would this recipe be ok to pull the meat off the bone and add to the gravy, or is the gravy too rich?

@reddysoft sorry that it's not traditional as an American would think of stew, in German, stew is more of a cooking style. And yes, you could pull the meat off the bone and put it into the gravy, and feel free to add veggies to the mix, potatoes, carrots, turnips, parsnips, any and all would be good. Cheers to good food!

You should never use the following in a composter -

any meat scraps

any member of the onion family - onion - shallot - garlic leek etc...

no citrus at all lemon - orange - lime - cumquat -etc...

tea bags and paper is ok.

@martster66 I've done a lot of research on composting and have never heard or read of onions and onion family being bad, nor citurs. Yes, no meat scraps, no oil, no kitty or dog poop, and only paper that is not coated or colored...Thanks for watching and your comment.

Well I made it and it came out super good. My wife was happy and I ate that gravy on just about everything I could. Thank you for the recipe!

@melvinvswaldo haha, the gravy is so good. Being the youngest in the family, I sometimes didn't score seconds in meat, but I always had gravy...Thank you for letting me know you tried it! Cheers ` Lindy

My grandmother made hasenpfeffer. Can't find any restaurants that server it . . . in Vegas anyway. Hofbrauhaus House says they do on occasion.

If my memory serves (it's been 25 years), she has a white sauce like alfredo with chuncks of black pepper, but it tasted like it had been in vinegar.

I love rabbit stew with either chianti or a nice gewurztrauminer.

[reddysoft]

Thanks! I think I'll try that. I'm also going to make it with red wine as I'll be using wild rabbit.

Loved the video BTW - very easy to watch & learn. I'm hungry!
