I'm in need of a GREAT Easter Bunny stew. I have a 3lb rabbit in the freezer waiting to be eaten, but I can't find my favorite recipe. If anyone has a good stew recipe that they are willing to share, please PM me.

[hobowh]

1 rabbit, about 3 pounds, cut up,
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons butter
1 cup chopped celery
2 medium onions, thinly sliced
1 teaspoon seasoned salt
1 teaspoon salt
dash pepper
1 bay leaf
4 cups water
4 cups dry red wine
2 cups diced carrots
4 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
4 ounces sliced mushrooms, sauteed
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/3 cup water
Dredge rabbit pieces with 1/2 cup flour. Melt butter in a Dutch oven over medium heat; brown rabbit pieces on all sides. Add celery, onion, salt, pepper, bay leaf, 4 cups water, and wine; bring to the boil. Reduce heat to a simmer, cover, and simmer rabbit stew for 2 hours. Add carrots, potatoes, and mushrooms; cook for about 25 to 30 minutes longer, or until vegetables are tender. Combine 1/4 cup flour and 1/3 cup water; stir until well blended and smooth. Stir flour mixture into the broth; cook and stir until thickened.

Apple Turnovers
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup cold butter, divided
1/4 cup ice water
Filling
1/3 cup sugar
2 teaspoons cornstarch
1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 medium tart apples, peeled and thinly sliced
1 teaspoon lemon juice
2 tablespoons beaten egg
1-1/2 teaspoons water
Glaze
1/4 cup confectioners' sugar
1 teaspoon water

Directions
In a small bowl, combine flour and salt; cut in 1/4 cup butter until crumbly. Gradually add water, tossing with a fork until a ball forms. On a lightly floured surface, roll dough into a 12-in. x 6-in. rectangle.
Cut remaining butter into thin slices. Starting at a short side of dough, arrange half of the butter slices over two-thirds of rectangle to within 1/2 in. of edges. Fold unbuttered third of dough over middle third. Fold remaining third over the middle, forming a 6-in. x 4-in. rectangle. Roll dough into a 12-in. x 6-in. rectangle.
Repeat steps of butter layering and dough folding, ending with a 6-in. x 4-in. rectangle. Wrap in plastic wrap; refrigerate for 15 minutes. Roll dough into a 12-in. x 6-in. rectangle. Fold in half lengthwise and then widthwise. Wrap in plastic wrap; refrigerate for 1 hour.
Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, combine the sugar, cornstarch and cinnamon. Add apples and lemon juice; toss to coat. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 5-10 minutes or until apples are tender, stirring often. Remove from the heat.
In a small bowl, combine egg and water. Roll dough into a 12-in. square; cut into four squares. Brush with half of the egg mixture. Spoon about 1/4 cup filling on half of each square; fold dough over filling. Press edges with a fork to seal. Place on an ungreased baking sheet. Brush with remaining egg mixture. With a sharp knife, cut three small slits in the top of each turnover.
Bake at 450° for 17-22 minutes or until golden brown. Remove to a wire rack. Combine glaze ingredients; drizzle over turnovers. Serve warm

Thanks for the last couple of recipes Hobo!

I doubt I'll ever make the rabbit, but it never hurts to have it.

Don't be afraid to play around a bit with the ingredients. Don't like almonds? Use peanuts. Not so hot on raisins? Substitute dates or even dried apricots. Ditto butterscotch chips for chocolate. Or any combinations, thereof. You get the picture.

1 C butter
1 1/2 C brown sugar
1 C quick cooking oats
1 C whole wheat flour
1 C all purpose flour
1/2 C wheat germ
[4 tsp. grated orange zest
4 eggs, lightly beaten
2 C sliced almonds
1 C chocolate chips
1 C chopped raisins
1/2 C shredded coconut

Preheat oven to 350°F.
Cream butter with 1 cup brown sugar. Stir in oats, wheat flour, white flour, wheat germ, and orangezest. Press mixture into bottom of an ungreased 9 x13" baking pan.
Combine eggs, almonds, chocolate chips, raisins, coconut (or whatever mixture you decide to use) and remaining 1/2 cup brown sugar. Mix gently, but thoroughly. Pour over butter mixture. Spread evenly. Bake 30-35 minutes and cool before cutting into bars.
Makes 12 Bars

As always, enjoy with veggies and an ice cold beverage (okay, maybe not on the veggies, but I had to add that part to make BigBear happy).
