Morphology
The phrase is a literal noun phrase naming a stew made from horse and rabbit meat; its meaning is directly composed from the known words 'horse', 'rabbit' and 'stew' joined by 'and'. This is a straightforward, cross-linguistically common compositional pattern, so a B1 learner who knows the constituents will readily understand the meaning.
Etymology
The name horse and rabbit stew simply describes a stew made with both horse and rabbit meat. Picture a big pot where the strong, rich horse meat and small pieces of rabbit cook slowly together into a thick, warming meal, so the phrase means that specific 'stew'.
