Preparation

How to prepare Rabbit Cacciatore

To make the rabbit cacciatore, first prepare the vegetable broth and keep it warm. Clean the onion and slice it 1. Heat a drizzle of oil in a pot, then add the onion and the crushed garlic cloves 2. Let it sauté over low heat for a few minutes 3.

When the onion has softened, remove it from the pan and set it aside 4. In the meantime, flour the rabbit already cut into pieces 5 and shake off the excess flour. Lay the floured rabbit pieces in the pot 6.

Brown the rabbit, turning it on all sides 7, then add the aromatic herbs 8 and the onion you set aside 9.

Now deglaze with the white wine 10 and let the alcohol completely evaporate. Add the crushed tomatoes with their juice 11 and the olives 12.

Salt and pepper 13, then pour half of the broth 14 and cook over medium-low heat for 45 minutes, with the lid on 15.

After this time, add the remaining broth 16 and continue cooking for another 45 minutes, still with the lid on. Once cooked, remove the lid, increase the heat and reduce the sauce 17. Your hunter's rabbit is ready to be served and enjoyed while still hot 18!
