Ingredients
1 rabbit, about 1.5 kg
1/2 bottle good red wine
1 tbsp honey
1 cinnamon stick
1 star anise
About 18 prunes
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 tbsp oil
20 g butter
1 small brown onion, diced
1 small carrot, diced
3 sprigs of thyme
1 slice spice bread (pain d’épice)
3 tbsp chopped parsley
Preparation
Preheat oven to 150°C.
Cut rabbit into 6-8 pieces.
Place prunes in a bowl. Place wine in a saucepan with the honey, cinnamon stick and star anis. Bring to the boil then pour over the prunes.
Season rabbit pieces with salt and pepper.
Heat a little oil and half the butter in an oven-proof pan and brown rabbit pieces all over.
Remove fat from pan and add remaining butter, diced onion and carrot and stir well. Cover with a lid and cook for a few minutes.
To the pan add soaked prunes with the wine and spices and the sprigs of thyme. Add the spice bread (it will thicken the sauce during the cooking). Cover pan and cook in preheated oven for about 2 hours, stirring a couple of times during the cooking.
Once cooked, the rabbit meat must come easily off the bone. Sprinkle rabbit with chopped parsley and serve.

Hot Tips
Vanilla extract
Be careful to choose vanilla extract that is labeled as "pure" as opposed to the synthetic varieties. Vanilla essence is a stronger version of vanilla extract and only a couple of drops are required for a similar result.
