Bunny and Barley Stew
When the whole is greater than the sum of the two parts. This was totally based on needing to put something together in rush tonight. I had some rabbit joints in the freezer cooked ages ago ,but not a lot. I had some of the barley vegetable soup made yesterday but again not a lot. Bash the two together with plenty of red wine gave me what I am going to call Bunny and Barley stew .
If you were going to make it from scratch enough for four
Bunny (Rabbit) and Barley Stew
2 rabbits
200g of pot or pearly barley
2 carrots roughly chopped
1 onion roughly chopped
2 cloves of garlic finely chopped
Half and bottle of red wine
2 tbsp of olive oil
1 pint of stock
Salt and Pepper
- Turn the oven to 200degC
- Joint the rabbits and soak overnight in water
- Drain and pat dry the joints , season well in salt and pepper ,brown in the oil with onions and garlic
- Add the barley stock wine and carrots
- Place in the oven for at 1.5 hours serve
Why do you soak the rabbit joints overnight in water, does it tenderise the meat or something?
Looks like perfect winter food!
