Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Rabbit

    In a large skillet or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Season the rabbit pieces with salt and black pepper, then add them to the skillet. Brown the rabbit on all sides, about 5-7 minutes.

  2. 2

    Add Vegetables

    Once the rabbit is browned, add the chopped onion, minced garlic, and sliced carrots to the skillet. Sauté for another 5 minutes until the vegetables are softened.

  3. 3

    Deglaze and Simmer

    Pour in the white wine, scraping the bottom of the skillet to deglaze. Allow the wine to simmer for 2-3 minutes to reduce slightly.

  4. 4

    Add Broth and Thyme

    Add the chicken broth and fresh thyme to the skillet. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and let it simmer for about 40 minutes.

  5. 5

    Stir in Olives

    After 40 minutes, add the pitted green olives to the skillet. Stir well and continue to cook for another 10-15 minutes until the rabbit is tender and cooked through.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Taste and adjust seasoning as necessary. Serve hot, garnished with fresh thyme if desired.
