JD - I substituted boneless chicken thighs (defatted and cut in half) for the rabbit in this recipe and it is the best main meal I have managed to do in my Thermomix. I now have something I can serve up quite confidently to my guests and have passed the recipe onto my daughter to try. I served it over rice with steamed green vegies but it would also go well with the beautiful mashed potato done in the TM. I thickened it with cornflour and water, added at the end and total cooking time was 30 minutes. Next time I will substitute the coffee powder with curry paste for a completely different taste and will do the original recipe again but will add some mixed vegies for a complete meal. Thank you so much, I loved it.
CP - Tried the chicken thigh version and it has come up trumps. This is superbly tasty, and definitely will make this again - 9/10
Gralke - made this rabbit stew with chicken thighs and turkey breast (which I added with the water/wine etc. and a few other changes due to lack of ingredients) and it was very nice!!! Thank you for a "working" recipe.
Chelsea - we all loved it. I used 500g of chicken thighs and 500g of diced veggies. I added carrot and celery with the chicken and then capsicum and zucchini with the stock. I thickened it with some corn flour at the end. Delicious!
Keri - I made the recipe with a rabbit. Very tasty but a bit tough. The rabbit was young. I wonder if I should have slow cooked for a few hours. How is the best way to do so using the TM.
JD - Keri, I cook some dishes on 90oC for longer, slower cooking and that seems to work for me.
Yvette - Made this with chicken thighs and curry powder instead of coffee, nice flavours.
Nik2WIN - even the children enjoyed it. It was really lovely and I'd definitely make it again.
Chookie - used chicken and cooked for 10 mins less. Easy, lots of flavor. Needed to thicken a little at the end. Thanks for this MM.

Love rabbit and will have to try this.
The coffee is an interesting addition?? Where is the inspiration from for that?
-
As I love sweet and sour recipes (not just chinese) I decided to try it once. It was just instinct!!! LOL Let me know if you liked it

There are a few recipes around at present with coffee - one with veal, another with lamb. There have been a few from up in the east of France I believe. It certainly goes well with veal.
There have been venison with coffee and cocoa crumbs/"sand" from a couple of restaurants here in OZ too.

Hello again
Long time since I wrote a message, anyway I made this rabbit stew today with chicken thighs and turkey breast (which I added with the water/wine etc. and a few other changes due to lack of ingredients and it was very nice!!!
Thank you for a "working" recipe.(http://i182.photobucket.com/albums/x161/barbara322330/DSC03262.jpg)

Welcome back - good work.

I made this for dinner last night and we all loved it. I used 500g of chicken thighs and 500g of diced veggies. I added carrot and celery with the chicken and then capsicum and zucchini with the stock. I thickened it with some corn flour at the end. Delicious!

You would think a young rabbit would be a tender rabbit wouldn't you Keri. I cook some dishes on 90oC for longer, slower cooking and that seems to work for me. I can't remember the last time I bought rabbit, they seem to be very large and very expensive here so I substitute chicken.
-
MM, thanks for this . I love rabbit and will definitely try this.
-
Made this yeterday with chicken thighs and curry powder instead of coffee, nice flavours.
-
Every time I see this I can't help thinking (or singing actually) "Rabbit stew, rabbit stew...................") DD had a tape of a story with this song on.
We used to get a fair bit of rabbit stew as kids.
-
I still love underground mutton. Especially boned & stuffed. Yum
-
We did too Cookie. Mum used to braise it in the pressure cooker which I enjoyed much more than when she roasted it - far too dry then. I used to get miffed that Dad always got the back bone and we got the legs but when I got older I figured we had the better piece - the back was a bit dry.
-
made this this afternoon - even the children enjoyed it (they're 9, 6 and 2 1/2)
It was really lovely and I'd definitely make it again. I made the mistake, unfortunately, of making snickerdoodles this afternoon too - so most of the stew was rejected in favour of lots of biscuits!

Thank you all for providing an alternative to rabbit. I have had pet rabbits since childhood and I just couldn't ever eat rabbit, even though I hear they taste good and also given that they are a pest. Domestic rabbits ie pets are just such good animals especially around young kids I don't think I could ever feed my children rabbit either.

My dh comes from a farming background so most animals are fair game foodwise in this household ;D I used to keep chickens (just 4) for their eggs - they had no name and, to be honest, I couldn't tell the difference between them (which is as much a comment on my uselessness as my attitude towards them since they were 2 different breeds!) They were most definitely not pets and whilst well cared for, there was no attachment.
I also had a rabbit as a child - still bear the scars from its scratches now! I told the children it was chicken and bacon casserole tonight anyway :)

I love rabbit. Wish it were not so expensive.

Made this last night for tea, but used chicken and cooked for 10 mins less. Easy , lots of flavor. Needed to thicken a little at the end. Thanks for this MM.

Next time i make this I'm cooking at varoma temperature and cooking my rice with it too. I halved the quantities of everything yesterday apart from the liquids so I reckon it would have been right nice rice :)

I know I am a sensitive soul who refuses to eat rabbit, fully knowing that we should eat more rabbit given that there are so many of them. I just keep thinking of that song though, "Run, rabbit, Run"! To all of you that can eat rabbit, I admire you all so don't take any offence that I just couldn't do it myself!!!
-
No offence taken - I'm waaaay too hard to take offence :) I always hum "Bright Eyes" when I'm cooking rabbit! ;)

We have been over run by rabbits here at the farm, and rather than kill them off so they are wasted and of no use to anyone (eg baiting) we have started our own way of getting them in the freezer. I used to love rabbit when my mum cooked it, so am now looking for different rabbit recipes.( I know they are cute animals, but when they start ringbarking and killing my young trees, and I am currently spending a fortune on wire netting to keep them off newly planted shrubs etc, and they are digging holes all over the place, and breeding, I'm sorry, but they have to go.) Will give this stew a go.
-
They can be jolly nuisances. I had my entire Vegie garden demolished by them when I lived in the country, all in one night when they got through my fence.
-
Yes I am setting up raised gardens to keep the blighters out, costs a fortune, but hopefully we will get on top of them and end with some great vege's and meat in the freezer. :P
