Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a Dutch oven over medium heat. Once hot, add the whole or pieced rabbit and sear it on all sides if desired.
Add the chopped celery, garlic, sliced shallots, seasoned salt, salt, pepper, and bay leaves, and then deglaze the pan with the dry white wine. Allow the white wine to simmer off before adding the remaining vegetables.
Once the wine has simmered off a bit, add the carrots, potatoes, and broth. Bring to a boil then reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 2 hours.
Pull the rabbit from the stew to remove the bones and shred the meat. The meat should fall from the bone very easily. Return the meat to the stew and discard the bones.
In a small bowl, combine the flour and cold water. Stir until all lumps have dissolved.
Stir the flour slurry into the broth. Continue simmering and stirring until the stew has thickened. Then remove from heat and serve immediately.
Notes
When choosing rabbit, the meat should be plump and pink with a slightly sweet smell. The eyes should be clear, not cloudy. If it looks or smells 'off' it probably is.
Peeling your potatoes is a personal preference. I used baby potatoes and chose not to peel them (just be sure to clean them well before cooking).
To store: Leftover rabbit stew will taste even better the next day! Store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. You may also freeze your rabbit stew by placing it in a freezer-safe container or heavy-duty freezer bag. Enjoy within 3 months.
To reheat: Reheat your leftover stew over medium heat on the stovetop until the rabbit reaches 165°F (74°C).
