Instructions:
-
Prepare Vegetables: In a crock-pot, layer potatoes, carrots, and onion at the bottom.
-
-
Brown the Meat: Season the rabbit or chicken with salt and pepper. In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Brown the meat on all sides until golden brown. Place the browned meat on top of the vegetables in the crock pot.
-
Prepare Braising Liquid: In a mixing bowl, combine beer, chili sauce, brown sugar, and minced garlic. Pour this flavorful mixture over the meat in the crock pot.
-
Cooking: Cover the crock pot and cook on high heat setting for 3 1/2 to 4 hours, or until the meat is tender and cooked through.
-
Drain Vegetables: Once the cooking is complete, remove the meat from the crock pot and set aside. Drain the vegetables and reserve the cooking liquid.
-
Prepare Sauce: Measure the cooking liquid and adjust the quantity to make 1 1/2 cups. Transfer the reserved liquid to a saucepan. Return the meat and drained vegetables back to the crock pot.
-
Thicken Sauce: In a gravy shaker or jar, mix 1/3 cup of cold water with 3 tablespoons of all-purpose flour until smooth. Stir this mixture into the reserved cooking liquid in the saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the sauce is thickened.
-
Serve: Pour the thickened sauce over the meat and vegetables in the crock pot. Sprinkle with paprika and garnish with fresh parsley, if desired.
-
Alternative Cooking Method: If you prefer, you can bake this dish in an oven-proof casserole instead of using a crock pot. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake for approximately 1 1/2 hours, or until the meat and vegetables are tender.
