Ingredients

  • rabbit (1.3 lbs)
  • red wine (5.3 oz)
  • water (1 cup)
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch
  • 3 leaves bay leaves
  • 2 sprigs myrtle
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • Half leek (onion is also fine if you prefer)
  • as needed thyme
  • as needed pepper (I use black pepper)
  • as needed pine nuts (I add a handful, I love them)
  • as needed vinegar (to soak the rabbit)

Tools

  • 1 Pan
  • 1 Fork
  • 1 Bowl

Steps

Are you ready? Let’s start cooking.

  • Take the rabbit, rinse it quickly and soak it in water and vinegar for 10/15 minutes.

  • After the necessary time, transfer it to a pan and let it release the absorbed water from the soak.

  • When the water has evaporated start seasoning the meat with herbs. Garlic, thyme, pepper, etc.. a drizzle of oil and let the meat brown slightly.

  • Now let’s deglaze with red wine and then add water and cornstarch. Cornstarch is perfect for thickening our sauces. The meat will remain more tender and flavorful.

  • We’ve also added pine nuts, if you like them, and now let’s cook covered for about thirty to forty minutes.

    It depends on the thickness of the pieces and the weight of the rabbit.

    After about twenty minutes start checking and continue until it’s cooked.

Hello, I'm Simona, and my page is called BriCciola in cucina, because I dedicated it to my mom and dad, who have called me that since I was little. I'm not a chef, and in my life, I've always dealt with completely different things, but cooking, along with dancing, has always been one of my great passions. However, my greatest inspiration came from the dishes prepared first by my grandmother and now by my mom. Here on my cooking blog, I'll guide you from appetizers to desserts, with recipes designed for a healthy and mindful lifestyle. Balanced dishes, carefully chosen ingredients, and lots of flavors, because eating well never means giving up pleasure. I love eating, but I also like taking care of my health, my family's health, and, in a way, the health of everyone who tries my recipes. That's why daily life should be rich in flavor, but always with a focus on healthy eating. Thank you, I look forward to seeing you.
