Time 3h

Yield Four servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 fresh rabbit, about 3 1/2 pounds, cut in 6 or 7 pieces
2 1/2 teaspoons salt, plus more to taste
Freshly ground black pepper to taste
4 carrots, trimmed, peeled and finely chopped
8 ribs celery, trimmed, peeled and finely chopped
3 cloves garlic, peeled and finely chopped
1 bay leaf
1 branch fresh rosemary
4 branches fresh thyme
1 cup white wine
4 cups water
1 medium onion, unpeeled, coarsely chopped
5 canned Italian plum tomatoes, coarsely chopped, with 1/4 cup of their liquid
12 ounces fresh pappardelle
1 small bunch parsley, stemmed and finely chopped
Freshly grated Parmesan cheese to taste

Steps:

  • Heat olive oil in a large saute pan over medium heat. Season rabbit with 1 teaspoon of the salt and some pepper. Add to pan and sear until golden brown, about 10 minutes.
  • Add half of the carrots, half of the celery and all of the garlic, bay leaf, rosemary and thyme. Let vegetables sweat with the rabbit for 5 minutes. Pour in the wine. Lower heat until liquid barely simmers. Cover and cook until the rabbit is tender, about 30 minutes.
  • Remove the rabbit from the pan and let cool. Set aside the pan with the vegetables. Pull the meat off the bone. Cut the rabbit in bite-size pieces. Set aside.
  • Place the bones in a large saucepan. Add water, onion and the remaining carrots and celery. Simmer until liquid is reduced to about 2 cups, about 45 minutes. Strain.
  • Return the rabbit meat to the pan with the vegetables. Pour the strained broth into the pan. Bring to a simmer. Stir in tomatoes. Cook very gently until rabbit is tender, about 1 hour.
  • Add remaining salt and pepper to taste. Remove herbs. (Sauce can be made 1 to 2 days ahead. When ready to serve, reheat with a little additional rabbit stock or cooking liquid from the pasta, to thin slightly.)
  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add pappardelle. Cook until tender, 1 to 2 minutes. Drain. Toss with rabbit mixture. Divide among 4 plates. Sprinkle top with parsley, pepper and Parmesan. Serve immediately.

I'm not a big fan of rabbit, but I thought this recipe was pretty good. The rabbit was tender and the sauce was flavorful. I would definitely recommend this recipe to others who are looking for a new way to cook rabbit.

This recipe was a bit disappointing. The rabbit was a bit tough and the sauce was bland. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

This recipe was a bit too complicated for me. There were too many steps and ingredients, and I found it difficult to follow. I think I'll stick to simpler recipes in the future.

This dish was a labor of love, but it was worth it! The rabbit was melt-in-your-mouth tender, and the sauce was rich and velvety. The pappardelle pasta was the perfect finishing touch.

Overall, I thought this recipe was pretty good. The rabbit was tender and flavorful, but the sauce was a bit too oily for my liking. I would probably try a different sauce next time.

I found this recipe to be a bit too bland for my taste. The rabbit meat was a bit dry, and the sauce lacked depth of flavor. I think it could have benefited from more herbs and spices.

This dish was a hit with my family! The rabbit was cooked perfectly and the pappardelle was al dente. The sauce was flavorful and rich, with just the right amount of spice.
