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
Indonesian meals
There's an art to eating an Indonesian meal. It all starts with rice and then you add small amounts of curries and other dishes like sambals and pickles to add an extra bit of heat or a burst of sour crunch. Its fun to eat with your hands - use your right hand or a spoon and fork. If you've been invited to an Indonesian home, come hungry - Indonesians are incredibly generous.
