ROASTED RABBIT WITH GARLIC AND OLIVES



Roasted Rabbit With Garlic and Olives image

This recipe is from my cookbook from The Stinking Rose restaurant in San Francisco. As the name implies, garlic is their featured ingredient. DH and I made this recipe a few nights ago. We really enjoyed it. I am guessing on the prep time because my rabbit already came in pieces and I did not have to cut it myself.

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
2 rabbits, cleaned, cut into pieces
5 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1/2 cup garlic clove
1/2 cup pitted green olives (such as picholine or Spanish)
3 sprigs thyme leaves, chopped

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • In a shallow bowl, stir flour, salt, and pepper together. Dredge rabbit pieces in flour mixture, completely coating meat on all sides.
  • In a large cast-iron skillet, heat 3 Tb olive oil over medium heat. Put rabbit in the skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, until nicely browned.
  • In a small bowl, toss the garlic with 1 Tb olive oil to coat completely.
  • Transfer rabbit to a baking dish and sprinkle with garlic, olives, and thyme. Bake, uncovered, for about an hour, or until the garlic cloves are golden brown and the rabbit is browned on the outside and opaque throughout.
  • Drizzle the remaining 1 Tb olive oil in an abstract pattern on a serving platter and arrange rabbit on top. Scoop the garlic cloves and olives from the baking dish and sprinkle over the rabbit. Serve immediately.

I've substituted red New Mexico chili powder for piment d'espelette; if you can get piment d'espelette, by all means use that. You can also use hot paprika. Adapted from The Basque Kitchen. Prep time is marinating time.

WHOLE ROASTED RABBIT WITH GUANCIALE, WILTED GREENS AND PAN DRIPPINGS



Whole Roasted Rabbit With Guanciale, Wilted Greens and Pan Drippings image

Rabbits are so lean on their own that they benefit from some added fat - in this case, a few strips of guanciale, the compellingly flavorful cured pork jowl from Italy. Once the pan juices from the roasted rabbit have commingled with the fat from the guanciale and the bitter water released from the Treviso, you have a perfect, craveable balance on the plate, in every forkful.

Time 1h

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 whole rabbits
Kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
2 bunches watercress
1 bunch dandelion greens
2 heads Treviso
1/2 pound guanciale, sliced thin
1/2 cup dry white wine
Extra-virgin olive oil

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 500 degrees.
  • Season rabbits on all sides and inside the cavity with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Set aside.
  • Trim the watercress and dandelion greens, removing the woodiest stems. Cut the Treviso into halves the long way, then cut each half into thirds, and trim away any especially tough white stalky interior core.
  • Lay sliced guanciale on a sheet pan large enough to hold the rabbits. (You can use 2 separate pans if necessary.) Scatter the dandelion greens, watercress and Treviso on top of the guanciale, and then place the rabbit on top, back side facing up. Drizzle the rabbit and greens with the wine and extra-virgin olive oil.
  • Roast rabbits for 20 minutes. After 20 minutes, check rabbits, and rotate the pans to ensure that they are cooking and browning evenly. Return to the oven to continue roasting until rabbit legs are just cooked through, about 15 more minutes.
  • Let rabbit rest for 10 minutes, then cut into 8 pieces each; two hindquarters, two forequarters and four loin pieces. Transfer the guanciale and greens to a serving platter. Place the rabbit pieces on top and drizzle with the pan-drippings left on the sheet tray and a healthy drizzle of olive oil.
