Rabbit Goulash

2 tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil

1 medium yellow onion, chopped

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 Rabbit cut up

Kosher salt

Freshly ground black pepper

1 tbsp. tomato paste

1 1/4 c. low-sodium beef broth

1 (15-oz.) can tomato sauce

1 (15-oz.) can diced tomatoes

1 tsp. Italian seasoning

1 tsp. paprika

1 1/2 c. elbow macaroni, uncooked

1 c. shredded cheddar

Freshly chopped parsley, for garnish

In a large skillet over medium heat, heat oil. Add onion and cook until soft, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute more. Add your rabbit meat and cook until no longer pink, about 3-4 minutes usually. Drain fat and return to pan. Season with salt and pepper. Add tomato paste and stir to coat, then pour in broth, tomato sauce, and diced tomatoes. Season with Italian seasoning and paprika, and stir in macaroni. Bring to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until pasta is tender, about 15 minutes. Stir in your shredded cheese and remove from heat. Add your parsley and you are ready to serve!
