Ingredients

• Servings: 2
• 1 rabbit
• 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 425 g diced tomatoes
• 1 cup red wine
• 1 cup water
• 100 g button mushrooms, sliced

• 1/4 cup flour

Recipe

• 1 grind pepper over the rabbit and place in the crock pot.
• 2 combine all other ingredients except flour in a large bowl, mix well and pour over the rabbit.
• 3 cover and cook on low for 6 hours for a small rabbit, or up to 8 hours for a large rabbit. actually cook for half an hour less as below.
• 4 thirty minutes before ready blend flour with 1/2 cup of water until it is a smooth paste, add to the pot and stir well to thicken and continue cooking covered for a further 30 minutes.
• 5 give it a good stir and allow to rest 10-15 minutes before serving.
• 6 at this point the rabbit should be so tender that you can tear pieces off with a fork to serve rather than cut. just scoop it all out onto a plate.
• 7 you'll end up with bones in the dish so eat much like you would a fish dish being careful for bones. serve along with a nice crusty roll to soak up the juices.
