This is a German dish. Rabbits are usually chunked and can be stewed in a crock put, but I don’t have one, so I made it curry style.

Leftover Rabbit Stew! Amazing and delicious

Ingredients

• 2 lbs of Rabbit chunks (stew sized)
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 lb diced bacon
• 1/2 cup green onions

• 3 tablespoons water
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

Cooking

1.  In a large, deep skillet, brown the bacon chunks over medium high heat.When finished, drain the bacon on a paper towel, and reserve the grease.

2. Sprinkle rabbit with salt, and coat with 1/3 c flour. Brown the rabbit in the bacon grease. Remove the rabbit and set aside. Take out all but 2 tbs of the bacon grease.

I served this on top of rosemary bread and a medium wheat beer (homebrewed of course)!
