About

A dark, fairly intensely flavored stew that is best made with rabbit (or, traditionally, hare), but is quite good with chicken. You can make the entire dish in advance and let it rest at room temperature for a few hours before reheating (or cover and refrigerate overnight).

This is lovely just with crusty bread, or with any potato dish.
