For a fabulous winter warming supper dish, serve Sophie Michell's Greek pot-roasted rabbit with bay, rosemary and cinnamon

Rabbit stifado

Method

1. Season the rabbit pieces. In a large frying pan, heat the olive oil and fry the rabbit in batches for 8-10 minutes until golden brown. Remove from the pan and set aside.

2. Add the whole onions to the pan and fry for 5-10 minutes until browned.

3. Heat a large casserole and tip in onions. Sit the rabbit joints on top and the garlic, herbs and cinnamon.

4. Pour in the wine, bring to the boil and reduce the wine a little. Tip in the stock and tomatoes and season well. Bring to the boil again, and simmer for 1-1½ hours, until beautifully tender. Check the seasoning and serve with roasted new potatoes.
