Savor the rich flavors of a hearty rabbit stew, a comforting and nutritious meal perfect for any occasion. Properly stored, this delicious dish can be enjoyed for days to come, ensuring minimal food waste and maximum enjoyment.

Storage Time

3–4 days in the refrigerator, up to 2–3 months in the freezer for optimal quality.

Temperature

Store refrigerated at or below 4°C (40°F). For freezing, maintain a consistent freezer temperature of -18°C (0°F).

Freezing

Rabbit stew freezes exceptionally well. Allow the stew to cool completely before portioning it into airtight containers or heavy-duty freezer bags. For best results when reheating, thaw overnight in the refrigerator and then gently warm on the stovetop or in the oven. While freezing preserves safety, the texture of vegetables might soften slightly upon thawing.

Signs of Spoilage

• A sour or off odor, distinct from its usual savory aroma.
• A slimy or sticky texture on the surface of the stew or meat.
• Visible mold growth, which can appear as fuzzy patches of various colors.
