I've only made rabbit stew. Is it ever delicious! Do you want the recipe?

Sure Tex I'll give it a try.

Getting very close to Christmas meat pie season. Wild Rabbit is almost always an ingredient around these parts. Although the coyotes are starting to change that.

This is the way my family has traditionally made it. I strongly advise you don't make any substitutions. Consume it with a spicy Malbec and fresh bread for dipping and you'll be in heaven!

Interesting recipe. I usually think of Stifado as being a beef dish (though my understanding is that veal and lamb are often used). Is rabbit traditionally used in Greek cooking as well? Or is this your unique innovation?

Have you ever done this recipe using chicken? That struck me as an interesting substitution (but I would shorten the overall cooking time if using a cut up chicken).

My wife makes it with beef and it is very, very tasty. My folks always made it with bunny so the beef was new to me. I think southern Greece prefers bunny and northern prefers beef. Never tried chicken but we'll have to try that some day.

Thanks Tex, that sounds like a really nice way to use some of the rabbit meat we have. This weekend we are going to smoke one and fry a couple.
