👨🍳 Istruzioni
- 1
Pat the rabbit pieces dry and season with salt and pepper. In a large Dutch oven or heavy pot, heat the duck fat or olive oil over medium-high heat. Brown the rabbit pieces on all sides. Remove the rabbit and set aside.
💡 Consigli Professionali: Don't overcrowd the pot; brown the rabbit in batches if necessary. - 2
Add the lardons to the pot and cook until crispy. Remove the lardons and set aside, leaving the rendered fat in the pot.
- 3
Add the chopped onion to the pot and sauté until softened and translucent, about 5-7 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
- 4
Sprinkle the flour over the onions and garlic and stir well to coat. Cook for 1-2 minutes to toast the flour.
- 5
Gradually whisk in the white wine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot. Bring to a simmer and cook for 2 minutes to allow the alcohol to evaporate.
- 6
Pour in the stock and add the bouquet garni. Return the rabbit pieces and the cooked lardons to the pot. Bring to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and cook for 1 hour.
- 7
Add the pitted prunes to the pot. Cover and continue to simmer for another 30-45 minutes, or until the rabbit is very tender and the prunes are soft and have released their flavor into the sauce.
💡 Consigli Professionali: The sauce should be rich and slightly thickened. If it's too thin, you can remove the rabbit and prunes and simmer the sauce uncovered for a few minutes to reduce. - 8
Remove the bouquet garni. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper. Serve hot, traditionally with fresh pasta, mashed potatoes, or crusty bread.
💡 Consigli Professionali: This dish benefits from being made a day in advance, as the flavors meld beautifully overnight.
