Ingredients.

6-8 rabbit portions
Plain flour to coat rabbit portions
Ground nut oil for frying
4 red onions
4 ounces of currants or raisins
2 glasses of red wine


3 tbsp of red wine vinegar
2 heaped tsp of granulated sugar
A good pinch of black pepper
1/2 tsp of cinnamon
1/2 tsp of ground ginger
Salt to taste
Soft white breadcrumbs to thicken sauce

Directions.

Peel onions and put in pan of cold water. Bring to the boil for 3-4 minutes then drain and set aside to cool.
When cooled, roughly chop onions, place in a bowl and add currants and spices. Stir well and then leave for 1/2 hour.
Fry for few minutes, stirring hard, then drain excess oil and put in a bowl until required.
Mix together the wine and vinegar in stew pot and add sugar and salt. Stir over low heat to dissolve sugar.
Wash rabbit, dry them, coat in flour and fry in ground nut oil in a large frying pan (turning regularly). Cook over gentle heat for around 15 minutes.
Drain off excess fat, then transfer along with onion mixture to join wine mixture in stew pot .
Cover pan and simmer gently for around 45 minutes. Check fluid level regularly and top up with water or red wine as required.
