Stuffat tal-Fenek or rabbit stew is Malta’s beloved national dish, enjoyed by locals for centuries. This hearty dish was introduced during the Knights of St. John era, and today is a symbol of resilience during times of scarcity.
The dish contains tender rabbit meat slow cooked with garlic, onions, tomatoes, red wine, and herbs like bay leaves and thyme, creating a rich, flavorful sauce. The dish is traditionally served with crusty bread or pasta, and is a must-try for visitors.
Today, rabbit stew is a staple of fenkatas – gatherings where friends and family share this iconic dish, keeping Malta’s culinary heritage alive.

I've had rabbit stew here in America and it's good.
I'm what someone would call a "prepper" and I always look at ways that when there will come a time we might not be able to get meat or it'll be so highly priced people can't afford it what I will do since I'm a meat eater, although I love vegetables.
On our acreage, we have deer, turkey, squirrels, all kinds of birds... and rabbits.
Now being an animal person, it would be my last resort, but if I needed to or help others to get food, I would have to get one skinny and cook it up. It's good to know these things for survival as well.
This recipe looks really good too. Sounds delicious.😋
You know it's funny. I was just thinking how people when they eat other forms of meat. They always say it taste like chicken.😂
I don't find that to be true 😉
