A lovely dish! I adore the combination of rabbit and favas, although I only eat them in springtime. Oddly enough, I just made a version of a Spanish rabbit recipe with almonds, olives and white wine…only I used squirrel.

Eric, new blenders are easy. New wifes, not so much. :) I do have a food processor, and I could use it, but I just like make purees in a blender.

enassar, I agree. I’ve got a hand blender too (I’m a gadget guy, I admit it!) and I LOVE it for making pasta sauce and soups. I’ll have to give it a shot at some point, but as I told Eric, I really like making purees in a blender. I can’t give a good reason why, either. And I agree with you, the colors were just awesome!

Chumsize, thank you! I’ll have to find a pro version of the blender. There is light at the end of the tunnel!

I have that blender… make sure the plate at the bottom and the shaft/pylon thingie are the pro variety… I think they’re white, not black. At any rate, the blender (with infrequent use) blew out the works pretty early in its tenure. But the replacement “pro” blade/pylon/plate whatever has been rolling perfectly since.

Ryan-
I have found that using a handheld blender (wand blender) is a much better alternative than using a regular blender. Less mess, less fuss and more control. I highly recommend you pick one up. Another benefit: just puree soups and sauces int he pot they were cooked in, no need to do 2 cup batches at a time.

I love the colors in this rabbit dish.
