Anna Sultana's Fenek bit-tewm u bl-Imbid, Rabbit with Garlic and Wine, Maltese Style

Back in late September I posted about Carmela Soprano's Grilled Meat Skewers and, in the title, I also mentioned Ma's Fenek bit-tewm u bl-Imbid.  

I gave the Meat Skewer recipe, but went on to tell a story about my Pop getting a live rabbit while we lived in British Columbia.  I wrote about how my Pop prepared the rabbit for dinner.  But I didn't give Ma's rabbit stew recipe.

I got a few e mails, but they got lost in my computer.

Sorry.

Here it is.

Late, but still good.

It's an easy recipe and you don't have to hunt down a local bush bunny.

Rabbit is now in stores.

Enjoy!!
