Yield Makes 6 to 8 (main course) servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 (3-pound) rabbit or chicken, cut with a cleaver through bones into 2-inch pieces
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon cayenne
1/4 cup vegetable oil, divided
1 medium onion, chopped
1 medium green bell pepper, chopped
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1 Turkish or 1/2 California bay leaf
1 3/4 cups reduced-sodium chicken broth
1 (28-ounce) can whole tomatoes in juice, drained, reserving juice, and chopped
1 (10-ounce) package frozen corn
1 (10-ounce) package frozen lima beans

Steps:

  • Pat rabbit dry and sprinkle evenly with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
  • Whisk together flour and cayenne in a shallow bowl, then dredge rabbit in flour, shaking off excess.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a wide 6- to 7-quart heavy pot over medium heat until it shimmers. Brown half of rabbit, turning once, about 10 minutes total. Transfer to a plate. Add 1 tablespoon oil to pot and brown remaining rabbit; transfer to plate.
  • Add remaining tablespoon oil to pot along with onion, bell pepper, garlic, 3/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper and cook, stirring and scraping up brown bits, until vegetables are softened, about 8 minutes.
  • Add bay leaf, broth, tomatoes with juice, and rabbit with any meat juices from plate and bring to a simmer. Simmer, covered, 50 minutes.
  • Stir in corn and lima beans, then simmer, uncovered, until stew is slightly thickened and vegetables are tender, 15 to 20 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Discard bay leaf.
