French recipes of the day

(un) civet ('see - vay') = a stew, but only for game. Otherwise, use
(un) ragoût ('ra - goo') or
(une) blanquette ('blanket') for veal and chicken.
I know, it's confusing, and especially for people like me with no cooking skill whatsoever.

So today's recipes:

• le civet de lapin (Rabbit stew)
  

• la blanquette de veau (a deliciously creamy veal stew)

Both are institutions of French cuisine, the kind of meals our grandparents used to spend hours cooking for an entire family, and reheat for a few days.
