Rabbit stew
Description
The dish is prepared without unnecessary complications. You can cook rabbit stew at home with any vegetables, not only those specified in this version. It's important to choose the right cookware—a heavy-bottomed sauté pan—and simmer the stew over low heat. The white wine gives the dish a special delicate aroma, while the alcohol evaporates during the long cooking process. The finished dish can be served at the table.
