Preparation
Step 1
How do you make homemade rabbit stew? Prepare the necessary ingredients. Use bottled or filtered water. Clean the rabbit carcass of anything unnecessary, wash it, dry it with paper towels, and chop the rabbit into pieces.
Step 2
Transfer the meat to a deep bowl. Pour water over the meat and leave it to soak for 4-6 hours. Then drain the water. During this time, the meat will become lighter in color.
Step 3
Using a sharp knife, separate the meat from the bones.
Step 4
Transfer the rabbit meat to the bowl of a multicooker. Turn on the “fry” mode for about 15-30 minutes and fry the meat until a golden crust appears. Determine the exact time according to your multicooker. Then pour hot water into the multicooker bowl. Why add water? This is necessary so that the meat does not burn during stewing. Rabbit meat has little fat and juice, so it is necessary to add a little water.
Step 5
Add peppercorns and bay leaf to the rabbit. You can also add any other meat spices according to your taste. Salt to taste and mix everything. Close the lid and turn on the “stew” mode for 3–5 hours, depending on your multicooker. During this time, the meat will cook completely and become very soft. It will even begin to fall apart into fibers and turn into stew.
Step 6
Toward the end of cooking, taste the rabbit stew. Check whether it has enough salt. If necessary, you can add a little more salt or more spices.
Step 7
Prepare the containers for sealing the stew. Wash and rinse the jars well. Sterilize them in any way convenient for you. This can be done in the oven, in the microwave, or over hot steam. Boil the lids. Before filling, the jars and lids must be dry.
Step 8
Fill the jars to the very top with the hot stew. Pour in the broth from the stew up to the shoulders of the jars. Seal the jars with the prepared lids. Cool the finished jars and store them in a cool place for several months. Enjoy your meal!
