Ingredients
Method
- Marinate the Rabbit:
- Rinse the rabbit pieces and marinate them with olive oil, garlic, rosemary, and thyme for at least 2 hours (or overnight for better flavor).
- Sauté the Rabbit:
- Heat olive oil in a large pan and sauté the marinated rabbit pieces until golden brown on all sides.
- Add Vegetables:
- Stir in chopped onions, garlic, and tomatoes. Cook until the vegetables start to soften and release their flavors.
- Deglaze with Wine:
- Pour in white wine and let it reduce by half, scraping up any bits from the bottom of the pan.
- Simmer:
- Add bay leaves, salt, and pepper. Pour enough water or broth to just cover the rabbit. Lower the heat and let it simmer gently for 1.5 to 2 hours, stirring occasionally until the rabbit is tender and the sauce thickens.
- Final Touches:
- Garnish with fresh basil and parsley before serving.
- Serve:
- Enjoy your Coniglio all'Ischitana with roasted vegetables, polenta, or crusty bread.
Notes
If you want extra flavor, add olives or capers halfway through cooking.
For some heat, add a chopped chili pepper when sautéing the vegetables.
For a more tender rabbit, marinate it overnight and cook on low heat to avoid drying it out.
