- remove the silver skin from the meat if there is any
- slice and render the bacon in a large pot on medium heat. set it aside once it's cooked but leave the bacon fat in the pot.
- remove the rabbit meat from the saddle, cut it into cubes
- dredge the cubed meat in flour and QUICKLY brown it in the rendered bacon fat on high heat. (don't crowd the pot or the meat will steam instead of brown. brown the meat in batches if you need. adjust the heat as necessary to avoid burning the stuff stuck to the bottom.)
- set aside the browned meat.
- add the sliced shallots and carrots to the pot and sweat them until they're translucent. the water in these vegetables should be sufficient to lift the brown stuff from the bottom of the pot. if not, add a splash of the beer and scrape the bottom of the pot with a wooden spoon.
- once the shallots and carrots are translucent, add the garlic and potatoes to the pot along with the meat and beer.
- bring it all to a boil and then drop it down to a simmer.
- simmer the stew for about thirty minutes then taste the meat. keep simmering until it's cooked to your liking. once it's cooked to your liking, season the whole stew with salt/pepper to taste and serve.
