Can substitute chicken thighs for the rabbit. 2-day recipe. Ingredients:
1 quart water |
1/4 cup red wine vinegar |
2 tbsp salt |
1 lb rabbit , cut into pieces |
1 salt |
1 freshly ground black pepper |
2 tsp dried oregano, crushed |
2 tbsp. olive oil |
2 cups diced onions, 1/2 dice |
1 salt |
1 freshly ground black pepper |
1 tbsp. minced garlic |
1 cup dry white wine |
2 tbsp. tomato paste |
2 cups water |
3 g (3) bay leaves |
1/8 tsp. ground nutmeg |
1/4 tsp. ground allspice |
2 tsp. dried oregano, crushed |
Directions:
1. Mix together the water, vinegar, and salt until salt dissolves, in a bowl large enough to hold the rabbit pieces, but small enough that all pieces will be submerged water. Add rabbit pieces; if they aren?t covered with water, add more. Refrigerate for 2 hours. Drain, discarding the water.
2. Dry rabbit pieces and season on both sides with salt, freshly ground black pepper, and oregano. Place in covered container and refrigerate overnight.
3. Brown rabbit in olive oil, in batches if necessary to ensure the pieces brown and don?t steam. When pieces are browned on both sides, remove to plate. In the same oil, sauté onions, lightly seasoned with salt and freshly ground black pepper, until they just start to turn golden. Stir in garlic and cook for 1 minute. Add wine and stir, scraping up any browned bits on the pan?s bottom. Cook until wine has reduced by half. Stir in tomato paste and water until well combined. Return rabbit to pan along with bay leaves, nutmeg, allspice, and oregano. Bring liquid to boil, cover, turn down heat to low, and simmer for 60 ? 90 minutes, or until rabbit is very tender (cooking time depends on size and age of rabbit).
4. When rabbit is done, taste sauce and add salt or freshly ground black pepper as needed. If sauce is too thin for your liking, remove cover, and turn up heat, bringing sauce to a slow boil. Cook sauce down, stirring regularly to prevent burning, until it?s the thickness you desire.
