1 3-lb rabbit, cut with a cleaver through bones into 2-inch pieces
\n1 tsp salt
\n1\/2 tsp freshly-ground black pepper<\/p>\n
1\/2 cup all-purpose flour
\n1\/2 tsp cayenne<\/p>\n
1\/4 cup olive oil, divided
\n1 large onion, chopped
\n1 cup celery, chopped
\n2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
\n1 bay leaf
\n1 3\/4 cups chicken broth
\n1 28-ounce can whole tomatoes in juice, drained, reserving juice, and chopped
\n1 10-ounce package frozen corn
\n1 10-ounce package frozen lima beans<\/p>\n
Pat rabbit dry and sprinkle evenly with salt and black pepper. <\/p>\n
Whisk together flour and cayenne in a shallow bowl. Dredge dredge rabbit in flour mixture, shaking off excess. <\/p>\n
Heat 2 Tbsp oil in a wide 6- to 7-quart heavy (preferably cast-iron) pot over medium heat until it shimmers but doesn’t smoke. Brown half of rabbit, turning once, about 10 minutes total. Transfer to a plate. Add 1 Tbsp oil to pot and brown remaining rabbit; transfer to plate.<\/p>\n
Add remaining Tbsp oil to pot along with onion, celery, garlic, and a large pinch of salt (about 1\/4 tsp) and cook, stirring and scraping up brown bits, until vegetables are softened, about 8 minutes.<\/p>\n
Add bay leaf, broth, tomatoes with juice, and rabbit with any meat juices from plate and bring to a simmer. Simmer, covered, 50 minutes. <\/p>\n
Stir in corn and lima beans, then simmer, uncovered, until stew is slightly thickened and vegetables are tender, 15 to 20 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Discard bay leaf.<\/p>\n
