Rabbit In Tomato Sauce Recipe

Rabbit in Tomato Sauce

From unswissmiss 18 years ago

Lean and flavorful, rabbit is a very popular meat in Europe. Substitute chicken if rabbit is unavailable.

In a large, deep skillet or a Dutch oven, heat 2 Tbsp olive oil.
Season the rabbit pieces with salt and pepper.
Brown the rabbit in batches, adding 1 Tbsp of additional oil as necessary. Remove the pieces to a plate as the rabbit is browned.
Slice garlic. Saute with rosemary in 1 Tbsp olive oil until golden.
Add white wine, scraping to loosen any brown bits in the pan.
Add tomatoes, honey, and salt and pepper to taste. Bring to a simmer.
Return rabbit to pot. Cover, and cook for 45 minutes, or until the rabbit is tender.
Remove rabbit pieces, and boil the sauce until reduced and thickened.
Return rabbit to the pot to heat through.
Serve with sauce.

This was really fabulous. The mix of honey and rosemary made the tomatoes wonderful. I cooked up a little spaghetti so I could really enjoy them. Made it exactly as written except I minced my garlic. I added a picture and a bit more in IMI. 7/27/14
