JD - I substituted boneless chicken thighs (defatted and cut in half) for the rabbit in this recipe and it is the best main meal I have managed to do in my Thermomix.  I now have something I can serve up quite confidently to my guests and have passed the recipe onto my daughter to try.  I served it over rice with steamed green vegies but it would also go well with the beautiful mashed potato done in the TM.  I thickened it with cornflour and water, added at the end and total cooking time was 30 minutes.  Next time I will substitute the coffee powder with curry paste for a completely different taste and will do the original recipe again but will add some mixed vegies for a complete meal.  Thank you so much, I loved it.

CP - Tried the chicken thigh version and it has come up trumps. This is superbly tasty, and definitely will make this again -  9/10

Gralke -  made this rabbit stew with chicken thighs and turkey breast (which I added with the water/wine etc. and a few other changes due to lack of ingredients) and it was very nice!!! Thank you for a "working" recipe.

Chelsea - we all loved it.  I used 500g of chicken thighs and 500g of diced veggies.  I added carrot and celery with the chicken and then capsicum and zucchini with the stock.  I thickened it with some corn flour at the end.  Delicious!

Keri - I made the recipe with a rabbit.  Very tasty but a bit tough.  The rabbit was young.  I wonder if I should have slow cooked for a few hours.  How is the best way to do so using the TM. 

JD - Keri, I cook some dishes on 90^oC for longer, slower cooking and that seems to work for me.

Yvette - Made this with chicken thighs and curry powder instead of coffee, nice flavours.

Nik2WIN -  even the children enjoyed it. It was really lovely and I'd definitely make it again. 

Chookie - used chicken and cooked for 10 mins less.  Easy, lots of flavor.  Needed to thicken a little at the end. Thanks for this MM.

Love rabbit and will have to try this.

The coffee is an interesting addition??  Where is the inspiration from for that?

As I love sweet and sour recipes (not just chinese) I decided to try it once. It was just instinct!!! LOL Let me know if you liked it

There are a few recipes around at present with coffee - one with veal, another with lamb. There have been a few from up in the east of France I believe.  It certainly goes well with veal.

There have been venison with coffee and cocoa crumbs/"sand" from a couple of restaurants here in OZ too.

Hello again
Long time since I wrote a message, anyway I made this rabbit stew today with chicken thighs and turkey breast (which I added with the water/wine etc. and a few other changes due to lack of ingredients and it was very nice!!!
Thank you for a "working" recipe.

I made this for dinner last night and we all loved it.  I used 500g of chicken thighs and 500g of diced veggies.  I added carrot and celery with the chicken and then capsicum and zucchini with the stock.  I thickened it with some corn flour at the end.  Delicious!

You would think a young rabbit would be a tender rabbit wouldn't you Keri.  I cook some dishes on 90^oC for longer, slower cooking and that seems to work for me.  I can't remember the last time I bought rabbit, they seem to be very large and very expensive here so I substitute chicken.
