Rabbit

Sunchoke Purée

Smoked Créme Fraîche

Grilled Radicchio

Method

Frying the Rabbit

  1. 1

    Prepare the Rabbit

    Season the rabbit pieces with salt, pepper, and paprika. Dredge in flour, dip in beaten eggs, and coat with breadcrumbs.

  2. 2

    Fry the Rabbit

    In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Fry the rabbit pieces until golden brown and cooked through, about 8-10 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.

Making the Sunchoke Purée

  1. 3

    Cook the Sunchokes

    Boil the sunchokes in salted water until tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain and return to the pot.

  2. 4

    Blend the Purée

    Add butter, cream, salt, and pepper to the sunchokes and blend until smooth. Adjust seasoning as needed.

Preparing the Smoked Créme Fraîche

  1. 5

    Mix the Ingredients

    In a bowl, combine créme fraîche, liquid smoke, and lemon juice. Mix well and refrigerate until ready to use.

Grilling the Radicchio

  1. 6

    Prepare the Radicchio

    Brush the cut sides of radicchio with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.

  2. 7

    Grill the Radicchio

    Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium heat. Grill radicchio cut-side down until charred and slightly wilted, about 5-7 minutes.

Plating

  1. 8

    Serve

    On a plate, spread a layer of sunchoke purée, top with fried rabbit, and serve grilled radicchio on the side. Drizzle with smoked créme fraîche.
