Rabbit has long been underrated on our side of the ocean—not so in Europe where rabbit is almost as popular as chicken. Marinated and stewed in wine with prunes, this Belgian dish may be the answer to an affordable but special dinner. Very healthy meat and low in fat.
This is from my 365 Ways to Cook Vegetarian cookbook. Posting for ZWT3. “French tradition warrants that this salad be served on Christmas or New Year’s Eve in French homes… The slightly bitter taste of the tear-shaped Belgian endive marries itself well with Roquefort cheese and a strong-flavored vinaigrette. To clean endives, wipe them with a damp cloth. Don’t soak them, since they tend to absorb water.”
All good Belgiums learn to cook with beer. Its the national drink. This dish is a slow cooker for cold winter days. The meat is so tender it melts in your mouth.
This is a traditional Femish Belgium dish. It is easy and can be prepared in the morning and baked when you get home from work. This and other recipes have been taught to me by my Flemish husband. Enjoy
Great Side dish as well as another use for endive aside from salad garnishment it commonly is used as.
