Ingredients

  • 2 whole rabbits, cut into thigh sized pieces
  • 4 cups flour
  • 1 tablespoon minced thyme
  • 1 tablespoon minced oregano
  • Salt
  • Pepper
  • 4 generous tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic
  • 1 bunch fresh rosemary
  • 2 whole red chiles
  • 1 1/2 cups black olives
  • 1 bottle white wine
  • 4 cups chicken stock
  • Parsley, for garnish
  • Caramelized Radicchio with Salsa Verde, recipe follows

Directions

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).

In a shallow bowl, combine flour, thyme, oregano, salt and pepper. Dredge the rabbit in the seasoned flour and set aside.

In a large pot, fry the olive oil, garlic, rosemary and chilli to infuse the oil with their flavours. Remove the rosemary and chilli and set aside. Place the seasoned rabbit pieces in the pan and cook for 7 to 10 minutes, on both sides, until the meat is golden brown. Place the reserved rosemary, whole chillies and garlic back into the pan and add the olives, wine and chicken stock. Place in the oven and cook for 30 minutes.

When cooked, remove the rabbit from the pot with a slotted spoon and place on a platter. Reduce the remaining liquid on a high heat until it coats the back of the spoon and pour over the rabbit platter. Garnish with parsley. Serve with Caramelized Radicchio and Salsa Verde.

Caramelized Radicchio with Salsa Verde:

Slice the radicchio heads in half and saute in 2 tablespoons olive oil over low heat for 15 to 20 minutes, flipping periodically.

In the meantime blend together the parsley, capers, anchovies, lemon and 1 cup olive oil in a blender. Drizzle the salsa verde over the cooked radicchio and serve with the rabbit.

    I made this rabbit dish and it was well received at table. That being said, rabbit is not my favorite meat and I think it would be better with chicken. The radiccio with Salsa Verde, on the other hand, was sublime! The salsa lasted several days in the refrigerator and I used it to dress greens one day and then had the remainder on a bowl of pasta. It was wonderful!
