Method

1. Cut the rabbit¹ into serving pieces, pat dry, and season with salt and black pepper.

2. Heat oil in a deep skillet or Dutch oven. Sear the rabbit¹ for 5–6 minutes until a light crust forms.

3. Add sliced onions⁴ and carrots⁵, cooking another 5 minutes until the vegetables soften.

4. Pour in 200 ml of hot water, add a bay leaf, cover, and simmer for 50–55 minutes on low heat, adding water as needed.

5. Mix sour² cream with minced garlic³ and a spoonful of hot sauce, then stir into the rabbit¹.

6. Simmer another 10–15 minutes on the lowest heat, without boiling, until the meat pulls away from the bone and the sauce thickens slightly.
