Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
How to bake a rabbit stew with sour cream in the oven? Prepare all the necessary products that are indicated on the list. The recipe used a carcass weighing 1200 grams, i.e. I doubled the amount of all other components. Rabbit meat has a specific smell; you can soak the carcass in cold water for several hours to remove it.

Step 2

Step 2
Divide the rabbit into portions. Rinse and dry the meat with paper towels to remove excess moisture. Peel the onion and garlic.

Step 3

Step 3
In a small container, mix a mixture of ground peppers and salt (I added a little mixture of Provençal herbs).

Step 4

Step 4
Coat each piece on all sides with the resulting mixture, as if rubbing it into the meat. Leave for a while at room temperature. 20-30 minutes will be enough. You can leave the rabbit in the refrigerator for several hours; the longer it marinates, the tastier the dish will be.

Step 5

Step 5
Heat vegetable oil in a thick-bottomed frying pan. Place the pieces of rabbit meat and fry on each side until an appetizing golden crust appears. Fry over high heat so that the meat is “sealed” on the outside and the juices remain inside each piece.

Step 6

Step 6
Cut the onion into rings. Place some of the rings on the bottom of the baking dish, place pieces of fried rabbit on top.

Step 7

Step 7
Distribute the remaining onion on top of the meat.

Step 8

Step 8
In a deep small cup, mix sour cream, water and garlic passed through a press. Add a pinch of salt and ground pepper if desired. I had very thick sour cream, so I used a little more water than indicated in the recipe. The sauce should have the consistency of heavy cream.

Step 9

Step 9
Distribute the sauce evenly over the surface of the meat and onions. Cover the pan with foil and place in a preheated oven to bake. Set the temperature from 180 to 220 degrees, “top-bottom” mode. Leave it this way for about 1 hour — 1 hour. 15 minutes.

Step 10

Step 10
Next, remove the foil and bake until cooked and golden brown. It took me about 30-40 minutes. Time and temperature may vary and differ from those specified in the recipe.

Step 11

Step 11
Sprinkle the finished dish with fresh herbs. You can serve!
