Ingredients

• 1 Rabbit
• 2 Onion
• 2 Carrots
• 1.5 cups Sour cream
• 3 tbsp Butter
• 4 cloves Garlic
• 2 Bay leaf
• 2 tbsp Dill

Steps

1. Cut the rabbit into serving pieces and brown deeply in butter — color means flavor in the sauce.
2. Soften the onions and carrots in the same pot until sweet and golden.
3. Return the rabbit with bay and water to barely cover; braise covered 60 minutes until tender.
4. Stir in the sour cream off the boil and simmer gently 10 minutes; never let a sour-cream sauce boil hard.
5. Crush in the garlic at the end for a fresh, pungent lift.
6. Serve with dill over mashed potatoes, spooning the silky sauce over everything.
