Braised Rabbit Cacciatore
Prep: 20 min Cook: 1.5 hrs Serves 4
A classic Italian hunter's stew reimagined with our farm rabbit, slow-braised in tomatoes, olives, and fresh herbs. Rustic and deeply nourishing.
Method
- 1
Brown rabbit portions all over in olive oil. Remove and set aside.
- 2
Sauté onions, garlic, and peppers in the same pan until soft.
- 3
Add crushed tomatoes, white wine, rosemary, and thyme. Stir well.
- 4
Return rabbit to the pan. Cover and simmer on very low heat for 1.5 hours.
- 5
Uncover for the final 20 minutes to reduce and concentrate the sauce.
- 6
Serve over polenta or with crusty bread to mop up the sauce.
Chef's Note
Rabbit is an incredibly lean, sustainable meat. Treat it gently — low and slow is the key.
