Stewed Rabbit with Peas and Carrot

Rabbit is one of the healthiest meats we can eat and can be cooked in different ways, not just traditional recipes.
If you want, you can make it like a gardener and add diced potatoes to cook with the rabbit, in this case, only put them in 10 minutes before finishing the recipe.
For those who don't like rabbit, you can make it with chicken.
