Konijn Met Pruinen / Lapin Aux Pruneaux (Rabbit With Prunes)

This dish is reminiscent of German cookery, where we find a special liking for sweet sauces or garnishes with meat, poultry, or game. The rabbit is cut into neat joints, put in an earthenware vessel, and covered with a marinade consisting of 2/3 of red wine and 1/3 of vinegar, salt, peppercorns, 1 or 2 bayleaves, thyme, marjoram, fennel, and other aromatic herbs. It should stand in this for 24 hours. Remove the pieces of rabbit from the marinade, dry them carefully, and brown to a light color in butter. Add 1 tablespoon of flour, and mix well with butter. Season highly with salt and pepper. Cover with red wine, and add 1 lb. of prunes, previously soaked in cold water for 12 hours. Bring to the boil and simmer till the meat and prunes are quite tender. Just before serving, add 1 tablespoon of gooseberry jam.

Have a nice cooking with Belgian recipes
