Rabbit braised in a rosemary, tomato, and white wine sauce.

Rabbit is a white meat, similar in taste and texture to chicken. Nowadays it is commonly found in local supermarkets, since its fine taste and nutritional qualities make it an interesting alternative to red meat. It is rich in proteins, vitamins, and minerals, quite low in fat and easy to digest.

Ingredients

1 tbsp olive oil 15 mL
2 tbsp butter, unsalted 28 g
1 slice bacon, finely chopped 20 g
1 rabbit, cut into pieces 1.4 kg
1 onions, finely chopped 200 g
2 sprigs rosemary, fresh, finely chopped 10 g
2 tbsp Parsley and Garlic Base 30 mL
2 tbsp tomato paste 35 g
1/2 cup white wine 125 mL
1 pinch salt [optional] 0.2 g
ground pepper to taste [optional]
1/2 cup water 125 mL

Before you start

Ask the butcher to cut the rabbit into pieces.

Keep the serving plates in the oven at the lowest setting so they are warm when you serve.

Method

  1. Heat the oil and butter in a pan over high heat. Finely chop the bacon and add it to the pan. Sauté 2 min, then add the rabbit pieces and sauté thoroughly on each side until golden, about 7-8 min.
  2. Finely chop the onion and rosemary, then add them to the pan. Cook 2-3 min over medium heat, taking care not to let them burn. Add the Parsley and Garlic Base, the tomato paste and cook 2-3 min over medium heat. Deglaze with the wine. Cook 2 min until the alcohol has evaporated. Add salt and pepper.
  3. Pour in about ½ cm of warm water, cover, and simmer over low heat about 30 min or longer, until the meat is tender. (Do as if it were chicken)
  4. Serve on the warmed plates.
