Liebre con lentejas

Liebre con lentejas is a traditional hare dish originating from Spain. Although there are many regional variations, the dish is usually made with a combination of hare, lentils, white wine, wine vinegar, bay leaves, olive oil, peppercorns, stock, onions, garlic, bell peppers, hot peppers, tomatoes, salt, and black pepper. The hare pieces, lentils, stock, wine vinegar, bay leaves, and peppercorns are simmered for an hour in a big pot. The onions, garlic, bell peppers, hot peppers, and tomatoes are sautéed in oil and then puréed or blended until smooth. The smooth mixture is stirred into the pot and the dish is simmered until everything is fully cooked and tender. The dish is seasoned with salt and pepper to taste and it's then served hot. Liebre con lentejas is often accompanied by potatoes or rice on the side. Pair the dish with a glass of robust red wine.
