Rabbit Normandy Style
Being a hunter, i'm always looking for new recipes to try. found this in a french cookbook. the use of hard apple cider sounds interesting.
Steps
Dredge the rabbit pieces in the flour.
Heat the oil in a soup kettle.
Add the pieces of rabbit and the onions and brown in the oil turning as needed for about 20 minutes on a low flame.
Add the cider , turning the fir up momentarily.
Using a wooden spoon scrape up the brown bits at the bottom of the pot.
When the cider boils , add the potatoes and the carrots.
Turn down the fire to a simmer , cover and cook one-half hour.
Remove the cover and add the apples and cook another half-hour.
At this point , boil rapidly until the liquid in the pot is about 2 cups.
Make a slurry of two tablespoons of cold water and the cornstarch and add it and the parsley to the pot , cooking until the sauce is thick enough to coat a spoon.
Plate the rabbit and vegetables and spoon the sauce over them.
