Real Belgian Beer Recipe

Rabbit with Fresh Figs, Rosemary and Corsendonk® Abbey Brown Ale

Ingredients: for four servings
2 dl (about 7 oz.) Corsendonk® Abbey Brown Ale
1 rabbit
4 figs
5 dl (about 17 oz.) veal broth
2 shallots
fresh rosemary
salt & pepper
2 cl (about 1 oz.) old port
olive oil
2 soup spoons of Dijon mustard
1 bunch parsley

Preparation
Cut the rabbit in portions. Fry in a casserole with olive oil and one of the shallots (chopped), seasoning with salt, pepper and fresh rosemary, until golden brown. Add the mustard, beer, veal broth (and some water if necessary to just cover the rabbit), and cook at low heat for 1½ hours.

Cut a cross in the figs and put them in the port.

Coat the rabbit’s liver with olive oil, dredge in flour and bake, at about 400° F, until the outside is slightly crispy.

Heat the figs then plate them with the rabbit pieces and baked liver, pour the reduced cooking liquid over the rabbit, garnish with parsley and serve with Corsendonk® Abbey Brown Ale.
