ROASTED RABBIT FOR A SUNDAY DINNER

Steps:

• If rabbit is not already prepared, wash it and trim away any skin and unwanted parts. Most rabbits come with the kidneys and other organs, regardless of whether they are prepared. Reserve these.
• Mix sausage meat and breadcrumbs together, kneading in the rosemary. Stuff the chest cavity of the rabbit with the stuffing, and continue down the torso, leaving a firm mound of stuffing from chest-groin.
• Wrap bacon rashers around rabbit, securing at the back with toothpicks, to seal stuffing inches.
• Roast rabbit on a medium/low heat for 1 hour, turning from one side to the other regularly and basting with any leaked juices.
• Meanwhile, boil potatoes in lightly salted water until firm, but starchy on the outide. Drain.
• Remove rabbit from roasting tray and set aside. Add lard to tray - once melted, toss in the pearl onions (whole), the carrots (roughly chopped into large pieces) and the potatoes. Toss vegetables in meat juices and lard, then replace rabbit on top. Roast a further 30 minutes, spooning over the hot lard as required, or until onions begin to blacken and potatoes turn golden and crisp.
• Using a slotted spoon, remove and set aside the rabbit and vegetables, allowing each spoonful to drain any juices back into the roasting pan.
• Pour stock into pan and scrape the bottom to lift up any stuck pieces of meat or vegetable, and to thoroughly combine the stock with the juices.
• Pour mixed stock and juice into a pot, adding a sprig of rosemary and the reserved rabbit organs. Place rabbit and vegetables back in over on a very low setting to keep warm.
• When stock reaches a rolling boil, mix the teaspoon of flour with a little water to form a paste, and add to the stock. Once thick and rich, taste and season to preference. Strain stock to remove organs and rosemary.
• Serve rabbit, surrounded with the roasted vegetables, and with the stock offered on the side as a gravy. Goes beautifully with redcurrant jelly.

ROAST RABBIT WITH ROSEMARY

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
• Sprinkle the rabbit with salt and pepper.
• Heat the oil and half of the butter in a baking dish. Add the rabbit pieces in one layer. Sprinkle with rosemary.
• Place the dish in the oven and bake 30 minutes. Turn the rabbit pieces and continue baking five minutes. Sprinkle with shallots and garlic. Bake five minutes and add the wine and broth. Bake, turning the pieces occasionally, about 20 minutes. Stir in the remaining one tablespoon of butter. Sprinkle with parsley and serve.

ROASTED RABBIT WITH GARLIC AND OLIVES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• In a shallow bowl, stir flour, salt, and pepper together. Dredge rabbit pieces in flour mixture, completely coating meat on all sides.
• In a large cast-iron skillet, heat 3 Tb olive oil over medium heat. Put rabbit in the skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, until nicely browned.
• In a small bowl, toss the garlic with 1 Tb olive oil to coat completely.
• Transfer rabbit to a baking dish and sprinkle with garlic, olives, and thyme. Bake, uncovered, for about an hour, or until the garlic cloves are golden brown and the rabbit is browned on the outside and opaque throughout.
• Drizzle the remaining 1 Tb olive oil in an abstract pattern on a serving platter and arrange rabbit on top. Scoop the garlic cloves and olives from the baking dish and sprinkle over the rabbit. Serve immediately.

ROSEMARY RABBIT

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spread the thinly sliced onion onto the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking pan.
• Rub the rabbit with lemon juice and olive oil. Sprinkle inside and out with a mixture of rosemary, parsley, and cumin. Place rabbit into the roasting pan.
• Bake in preheated oven for 30 minutes, then sprinkle almonds over the onions. Continue baking until the meat has turned opaque, about 15 minutes.

SLOW ROASTED RABBIT

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Season the rabbit with salt and pepper. Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the rabbit pieces and brown on all sides. Place in a 9x13 inch baking dish. In a medium bowl, combine the sugar, onion, ketchup, garlic, paprika, Worcestershire sauce and water; pour over the rabbit.
• Bake uncovered for 90 minutes in the preheated oven, basting frequently. Meat should be very tender when done.

ROASTED RABBIT WITH POTATOES AND ROSEMARY

Steps:

• Season the rabbit with salt and pepper and place in a non-corrosive dish. Mince the garlic and mix with the lemon juice, half the rosemary leaves and half a cup of the olive oil. Pour onto the rabbit, turn in the marinade, cover and refrigerate overnight, turning occasionally.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place the rabbit in a roasting pan and pour on the marinade. Cover the rabbit with a piece of foil. Place the potatoes around the rabbit and sprinkle with salt, pepper and remaining rosemary leaves.
• Add the remaining oil and toss the potatoes so that they are coated and won't stick to the bottom of the roasting pan. Roast for 20 minutes then remove the foil from the rabbit. Roast for another 10 to 25 minutes, or until tender and lightly browned.

ROAST RABBIT WITH GREEN GARLIC SAUCE

Steps:

• For rabbit: Heat oven to 375 degrees. Brown bacon in large pan over medium heat until it releases all of its fat. Remove bacon and reserve for other use. Add onions, brown well, and transfer to a plate. Season rabbit with salt and pepper and brown well on all sides. Add wine, garlic, and water to barely cover. Cover and bake until rabbit is tender, about 1 hour.
• For sauce: Melt butter in saucepan over medium-low heat and add onions and green garlic bulbs. Sauté until tender. Add potato, garlic and stock. Simmer until potato is tender. Add green garlic tops. Let cool. Purée in blender until smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste, and set aside.
• Transfer rabbit and onions to a platter. Return pan to high heat and reduce broth to about 1 cup. Add butter and green garlic sauce, and adjust salt and pepper to taste. Return rabbit to sauce, turning to coat and allowing to reheat. To serve, place a portion of rabbit on each of four plates. Top with a spoonful or two of sauce.

RABBIT CON SALSICCIA, ROASTED GARLIC, LEMON, AND ROSEMARY

Steps:

• If you are making the stock, adjust the oven rack to the middle position and preheat the oven to 325°F.
• Place the rabbit bones and the leek, onion, and carrot on a baking sheet and roast, shaking the pan occasionally for even cooking, until they're evenly browned, about 1 1/2 hours. Remove the baking sheet from the oven and transfer the bones and vegetables to a large stockpot. Add the chicken stock to the pot and bring to a boil over high heat, skimming off the foam that rises to the top. Reduce the heat and simmer for 1 hour, skimming as needed. Remove the stock from the heat, pour it through a fine-mesh strainer, and discard the contents of the strainer. Use the stock, or set it aside to cool to room temperature, transfer it to an airtight container, and refrigerate for up to three days.
• To prepare the rabbit legs, place the legs in a nonreactive baking dish large enough to fit them in a single layer and season them all over with the salt. Set the legs aside at room temperature to cure for 1 1/2 hours. Rinse the rabbit legs and the baking dish, wipe the legs and the dish dry, and return the legs to the dish. Pour the milk in the dish, adding more if necessary to cover the rabbit legs. Cover the dish with plastic wrap and place the legs in the refrigerator for 1 hour. (Soaking the rabbits in milk desalinates them.) Remove the legs from the refrigerator, and remove them from the milk. Discard the milk, rinse the rabbit legs under water, and pat them dry with paper towels.
• To make the sausage, place the rabbit loins and bellies in a nonreactive baking dish or a sealable plastic bag and season with the pepper, sugar, and 1 teaspoon of the salt. Cover the dish with plastic wrap or seal the plastic bag and place the rabbit in the refrigerator to cure, at least 3 hours or overnight.
• One hour before you are ready to complete the sausage, place the rabbit loins and bellies and the pancetta in the freezer to chill. (This makes the meats easier to pass through the meat grinder.) Fill a large bowl with ice water and have a small bowl ready to set inside. Fit a meat grinder with a small die. Remove the rabbit and pancetta from the freezer and pass them together through the grinder into the smaller bowl. Place the bowl with the meat inside the bowl of ice and set aside to chill while you prepare the rest of the ingredients for the sausage.
• Combine the oil, minced onion, garlic, and rosemary needles in a medium sauté pan over medium-high heat and sauté until the onion and garlic are soft and translucent but not browned, about 5 minutes, stirring constantly and adding a splash of water to the pan from time to time to prevent the onion and garlic from browning. Remove the bowl with the rabbit and pancetta from the ice water, reserving the ice water for dipping your hands into, and add the contents of the sauté pan to the smaller bowl. Season with the remaining 1 teaspoon of salt, pepper, and nutmeg and stir gently until the ingredients are combined. Add 2 tablespoons of the ice water and mix the meats and vegetables with your hands, adding more ice water, if necessary, to make the mixture sticky and tacky. Dip your hands in the bowl of ice water to prevent the meat from sticking to your fingers. Pick up a 1 1/2-ounce portion and mold it into a 1-inch-thick patty. Place the patty on a baking sheet or plate and repeat with the remaining meat. (The sausages can be prepared to this point up to five days in advance. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate the sausages until you are ready to braise them, or freeze for up to several months.)
• To cook the rabbit legs, adjust the oven rack to the middle position and preheat the oven to 350°F.
• Heat 2 tablespoons of the olive oil in a large Dutch oven or high-sided, ovenproof sauté pan over medium-high heat until the oil is almost smoking and slides easily in the pan, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the rabbit legs to the pan in a single layer, reduce the heat to medium, and cook for 3 to 5 minutes on the first side, until they are golden brown. (If you do not have a pan large enough to fit all of the legs, cook them in two batches, cooking all of the hind legs in one batch and the forelegs in another batch and adding more olive oil to the pan in between batches, if necessary.) Turn the rabbit legs and cook them for 2 minutes on the other side. Remove the legs to a plate and add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add the celery, carrot, leek, and sliced onion and sauté for about 2 minutes, stirring often, until the vegetables begin to soften. Add the garlic cloves and sauté for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and softened. Add the wine, increase the heat to high, and cook until it reduces by half, about 10 minutes. Return the rabbit legs, nestling them in a single layer in the pan and place the rosemary and chile on top. Alternatively, if your pan is not large enough to hold all of the legs, pour the contents of the pan into a baking dish large enough to hold them in a single layer. Gradually add the stock to just cover the rabbit. If you have industrial-strength plastic wrap, which won't melt in the oven, cover the pan or baking dish tightly with plastic wrap. In either case cover the dish tightly with aluminum foil and put the lid on the pot if it has one. Place the rabbit in the oven to braise for 1 hour to 1 1/2 hours, until the meat is fork- tender and the joints move easily, checking for doneness after 1 hour. Remove the rabbit legs from the oven, remove the lid, and remove and discard the foil and plastic, if you used it, being careful not to burn yourself with the steam that will rise from the pan. Set the rabbit aside to cool in the braising liquid for at least 30 minutes. You can prepare the rabbit to this point up to five days in advance. Cool the rabbit in the braising liquid to room temperature. Cover the pot with plastic wrap or transfer the rabbit with the liquid to an airtight container and refrigerate until you are ready to serve it.
• To finish the rabbit, if it is still warm from the braising liquid, heat the oil in a large sauté pan over medium-high until the oil is almost smoking and slides easily in the pan, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the sausages and cook them about 1 minute on each side, until they are golden brown. Remove the sausage to a plate lined with paper towels and drain the oil from the pan, leaving just enough to cover the bottom of the pan. Add the garlic, rosemary sprig, and red pepper flakes, and sauté for about 2 minutes, until the garlic is golden brown and slightly caramelized. Add the rabbit legs and 1 cup of the reserved rabbit stock or chicken stock. Increase the heat to high and bring the liquid to a boil. Turn off the heat, stir in the lemon zest strips, and place the pan in the oven, uncovered, until the meat is heated through, about 12 minutes. Remove the pan from the oven and remove the sausage from the pan. Place the pan over high heat, spooning the sauce over the rabbit as it cooks, until the sauce is thick and gravy-like and has reduced by about half, 7 to 9 minutes. Add the sausage back to the sauce to warm it from the residual heat in the pan.
• If you have prepared the rabbit in advance and are rewarming it, preheat the oven to 350°F. Place the rabbit in the braising liquid in the oven about for 20 minutes, basting it with the sauce occasionally, until it is warmed through. Cook the sausage and sauce as directed above.
• To serve, pile the cavolo nero in the center of each plate, dividing it evenly. Nestle one rabbit leg on each mound of the cavolo and rest the other leg against the first at a perpendicular angle. Place one sausage patty on either side of each serving of rabbit and lay the garlic cloves and rosemary sprig on top. Spoon the sauce over the rabbit, dividing it evenly.
