Civet de lapin

France · Europe

Short description
This slow-cooked rabbit stew is built around a dark, wine-rich sauce and tender braised meat.
Ingredients
Rabbit pieces are cooked in a wine-based sauce with onions, vegetables, herbs, and stock.
Cultural note
It is associated with older regional home and restaurant cooking, where game or rabbit dishes are often paired with a deeply flavored sauce.
Common misconception
The name points to the stewing style and sauce; it is not a single fixed garnish or one exact recipe.
