Rabbit Stew with Raisins and Pine Kernels

Cut the rabbit meat into large chunks and dust with flour. The easiest way to do this is to put the meat in a plastic bag, add the flour and shake. Heat the oil in a pan and fry quickly, over high heat, till golden at the edges. Transfer to a deep, ovenproof casserole. Add the onions to the frying pan, with a little more oil if needed, and fry till soft and golden. Add the celery and continue to cook for 2 minutes, then add the vinegar, stock and wine. Bring to the boil, add the fruit and nuts and scrape the bottom of the pan to dislodge any delicious crusty bits into the sauce. Season with salt and black pepper and pour over the rabbit. Place in a preheated oven at 1800C/3500F/Gas Mark 4 and cook for 30-40 minutes till the sauce has reduced a little. Serve with mashed potatoes and peas or wide noodles such as pappardelle.
