Guiso de Conejo (Rabbit Stew) a Classic Peruvian recipe for a stew of rabbit with bacon and pearl onions in a white wine, oil and vinegar base flavoured with spices and garlic.

Ingredients:

1 rabbit (about 1.5kg)
6 garlic cloves
1 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp dried oregano, crumbled
120ml olive oil
60ml white wine vinegar
150g smoked bacon rashers, finely shredded
500ml dry white wine
12 pearl onions
salt and freshly-ground black pepper, to taste

Method:

In a mortar, pound together the garlic, cumin, oregano, salt, black pepper and vinegar to a paste then work in half the oil.

Cut the rabbit into serving-sized pieces and mix with the garlic paste. Toss the rabbit meat to coat, cover with plastic wrap and set aside to marinate in the refrigerator for 8 hours.

Heat the remaining oil in a pan and use to fry the bacon until crisp. Remove the meat with a slotted spoon and set aside.

Use the oil remaining in the pot to fry the rabbit pieces until browned. Return the bacon to the pot and pour over any left-over rabbit marinade. Stir in the wine and onions, bring to a simmer, cover the pot and cook for about 40 minutes or until the meat is tender.

Remove the rabbit pieces and the pearl onions and arrange on a serving sauce. Bring the remaining sauce to a boil and cook until thickened.

Pour this sauce over the meat and serve immediately, accompanied by boiled potatoes and black olives.
