About Stuffat tal-Fenek
Stuffat tal-fenek is a Maltese rabbit stew with a rich wine-and-tomato sauce. Liz Ayling's rendition follows the core of a Maltese cooking booklet, with carrots alongside the potatoes and bay leaves.
Red wine, garlic and onion give the stew depth, while olive oil and tomato enrich the sauce. Peas, oregano and rosemary are offered additions to the rabbit and vegetables.
Jointed rabbit and root vegetables appear in the substantial stew. Fennel-seasoned roast potatoes and crusty white bread are suggested accompaniments, with the bread suited to the wine-and-bay sauce.
