Creamy Rabbit Stew

Our Creamy Rabbit Stew, despite being prepared using rabbit meat, can be easily adapted for other meats such as chicken or turkey. The end result is a delectably rich and tasty sauce, paired with optional potatoes for added heartiness.

The dish can traditionally be prepared in a cauldron, but for modern cooks, a multicooker serves as a fantastic alternative. Regardless of your chosen device or its brand, you'll find this dish comes out perfectly every time.
