BRAISED RABBIT



Braised Rabbit image

My husband and I do a lot of hunting, and we eat more wild game than domestic meat. I like to create my own rabbit recipes and this one makes such tender meat with a tangy, light sauce. I like to serve it with baked potatoes and steamed broccoli. -Dawn Bryant, North Platte, Nebraska

Time 4h50m

Yield 10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 24

4 large garlic cloves, smashed
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more
kosher salt, for seasoning
4 sprigs fresh rosemary, needles stripped from the stem and chopped
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
1 (4 lb) beef brisket, first-cut
fresh ground black pepper
4 large carrots, cut in 3-inch chunks
3 celery ribs, cut in 3-inch chunks
3 large onions, halved
2 cups dry red wine
1 (16 ounce) can whole tomatoes, hand-crushed
1/4 cup fresh flat-leaf parsley
1/2 bunch fresh thyme
3 bay leaves
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 lb mixed wild mushroom, quartered (oyster, portabello, crimini, & shitake)
3 garlic cloves
3 tablespoons horseradish
1/2 cup sour cream
1 cup beef consomme or 1 cup beef bouillon
4 sprigs fresh thyme
extra virgin olive oil
kosher salt & freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • PREPARE THE ROAST:.
  • Preheat oven to 325°F.
  • On a cutting board, mash the garlic and 1/2 teaspoon of the salt together with the flat side of a knife into a paste form. Add the rosemary and continue to mash until incorporated.
  • Put the garlic-rosemary paste in a small bowl and add 2 tablespoons of olive oil; stir to combine.
  • Season both sides of the brisket with a fair amount of kosher salt and ground black pepper.
  • Dust brisket generously with flour. Place a large roasting pan or Dutch oven over medium-high flame and coat with the remaining olive oil. Put the brisket in the roasting pan and sear to form a nice brown crust on both sides.
  • Lay the vegetables all around the brisket and pour the rosemary paste over the whole thing. Add the wine and tomatoes; the parsley, thyme and bay leaves.
  • Cover the pan tightly with aluminum foil and transfer to the oven.
  • Bake for about 3 to 4 hours, basting every 30 minutes with the pan juices until the beef is fork tender.
  • Remove the brisket to a cutting board and let it rest for 15 minutes.
  • Strain the stock and spoon out the excess fat.
  • PREPARE THE MUSHROOMS:.
  • Meanwhile, prepare the mushrooms. Heat up a large sauté pan and approximately 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Add the chopped garlic, the mushrooms and thyme.
  • Cook until a nice light brown color develops then add brisket stock and continue to simmer and reduce -- mixture should be thick enough to coat the back of a wooden spoon.
  • When thickened, finish with the horseradish, sour cream and season to taste with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
  • To serve, slice the brisket across the grain (the muscle lines) at a slight diagonal and top with the creamy wild mushrooms.
  • SUGGESTIONS:.
  • As this is being made for Chanukah, we are serving it with these Baked Latkes by Chia Recipe #48494 with scallion-flavored sour cream and applesauce. Also, store-bought mixed Rugelah - too many to bake here.(Guests have a habit of tucking these tasty delicious tidbits into their pockets or purses, LOL!).

Tips:

  • Choose the Right Rabbit: Select a young and tender rabbit for the best flavor and texture. If possible, opt for a wild rabbit as they tend to have a more pronounced gamey flavor.
  • Properly Clean and Cut the Rabbit: Remove any excess fat and sinew from the rabbit. Cut it into 8-10 pieces, including the legs, thighs, and back. This will ensure even cooking.
  • Sear the Rabbit for Rich Flavor: Before braising, sear the rabbit pieces in a hot pan with olive oil. This will create a beautiful golden-brown crust and lock in the natural juices.
  • Use a Variety of Aromatics: Enhance the flavor of the braising liquid by adding a combination of aromatics such as carrots, celery, onions, garlic, and herbs like thyme and rosemary. These ingredients will infuse the rabbit with a rich and complex flavor profile.
  • Select the Right Wine: Choose a dry white wine or a light-bodied red wine for braising the rabbit. The acidity in the wine helps to tenderize the meat and balance the richness of the dish.
  • Cook Low and Slow: Braising is a slow-cooking method that allows the flavors to meld and the meat to become fall-off-the-bone tender. Cook the rabbit for at least 1 hour and 30 minutes, or until the meat easily pulls away from the bones.
  • Finish with Fresh Herbs: Before serving, garnish the braised rabbit with fresh herbs like parsley or chives. This adds a pop of color and a final layer of flavor to the dish.

Conclusion:

Braised rabbit with wild mushrooms is a classic dish that combines the rich, gamey flavor of rabbit with the earthy notes of wild mushrooms. By following the tips and techniques outlined in this recipe, you can create a delicious and memorable meal that is perfect for a special occasion or a cozy dinner at home. Serve the braised rabbit over mashed potatoes, polenta, or egg noodles for a complete and satisfying meal.
