Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Season rabbit pieces with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat.

    In the same pot, add pearl onions and carrots. Sauté for 5 minutes until slightly softened.

    Return rabbit to the pot. Add bay leaves and cinnamon stick. Cover and simmer on low for 1.5 hours.
