Rabbit Preparation

Creamy Corn Polenta

Method

Rabbit Preparation

  1. 1

    Sear the Rabbit

    In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Season the rabbit pieces with salt and black pepper, then add them to the pot. Sear the rabbit on all sides until browned, about 8-10 minutes. Remove the rabbit and set aside.

  2. 2

    Sauté Aromatics

    In the same pot, add the chopped onion and minced garlic. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until the onion is translucent.

  3. 3

    Add Tomatoes and Herbs

    Add the halved tomatoes and fresh thyme to the pot. Stir and cook until the tomatoes start to break down, about 5 minutes.

  4. 4

    Deglaze with Wine

    Pour in the red wine and scrape the bottom of the pot to deglaze. Allow the wine to reduce for about 5 minutes.

  5. 5

    Braise the Rabbit

    Return the rabbit pieces to the pot and add the chicken stock. Bring to a simmer, cover, and reduce the heat to low. Braise for 1.5 - 2 hours, or until the rabbit is tender.

Creamy Corn Polenta

  1. 6

    Boil Water

    In a large saucepan, bring the water to a boil over high heat.

  2. 7

    Add Cornmeal

    Gradually whisk in the cornmeal, stirring constantly to prevent lumps. Reduce heat to medium-low.

  3. 8

    Cook Polenta

    Continue to cook the polenta, stirring frequently, until it thickens, about 20-25 minutes.

  4. 9

    Incorporate Milk and Butter

    Stir in the milk, butter, and salt. Cook for an additional 5 minutes until creamy and smooth.

  5. 10

    Add Parmesan

    Remove from heat and fold in the grated Parmesan cheese until melted and well combined.
