👨🍳 Istruzioni
- 1
Blanch the pine nuts and raisins in boiling water for 5 minutes. Drain and set aside.
- 2
Peel the pears, remove the core, and cut them into four long pieces. Place them in a saucepan with water and a pinch of sugar. Simmer for about 10 minutes. Drain and set aside.

Season the rabbit pieces with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a terracotta pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Brown the rabbit pieces along with the chopped onion and peeled garlic cloves.

Add the dry white wine and chicken broth to the pot. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to low, cover, and cook until the rabbit is almost tender, about 30-35 minutes.

Remove the rabbit from the pot. Strain the cooking liquid into a saucepan, discarding solids. Add the heavy cream and nutmeg to the liquid. Whisk over medium heat until a smooth, creamy sauce forms.

Return the rabbit to the pot with the sauce. Add the blanched pine nuts, raisins, and poached pears. Stir gently to combine.

Simmer gently for another 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed. Serve hot, directly from the pot.
💡 Consigli Professionali
- ✓Ensure the pears are ripe but still firm to hold their shape during poaching.
- ✓If the sauce is too thin, you can thicken it slightly with a cornstarch slurry (1 tsp cornstarch mixed with 2 tsp cold water).
- ✓For a richer flavor, you can use a splash of brandy or cognac when adding the white wine.
