Rabbit with Spring Vegetable Ragu and Polenta image

Provided by Anne Burrell

Categories     main-dish

Time 3h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 29

2 rabbits
3 quarts homemade brown or white chicken stock, or store-bought low-sodium chicken broth
1 small yellow onion, chopped
1 small fennel bulb, chopped
1 stalk celery, chopped
1 clove garlic, chopped
1 tablespoon plus 1/2 teaspoon rosemary leaves
1/3 to 1/2 cup olive oil
Kosher salt
1 cup white wine
1 tablespoon plus 1 heaping teaspoon whole grain Dijon mustard
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 cup heavy cream
2 pieces caul fat
6 slices prosciutto
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 spring onion, sliced into matchsticks
Kosher salt
8 chanterelle mushrooms, cut into small pieces
1 cup fava beans, blanched
2 ounces rabbit stock from the rabbit
Polenta, for serving, recipe follows
2 cups milk
1 bay leaf
Kosher salt
1 cup quick-cooking polenta
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 cup mascarpone cheese
2 tablespoons chopped chives

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Cut the rabbits as follows: With a sharp cleaver, cut off the front portions (from right behind the front legs) of the rabbits and cut them in half through the backbones. Then cut the saddles from the hind legs; remove the bones but keep the saddles intact. Chop each hind leg into 2 pieces¿the thighs and the drumsticks or lollipops. Remove the bones from the thighs; discard the bones. Reserve the livers and hearts.
  • Place the front portions on a baking sheet and roast until golden brown, about 25 minutes. While they roast, bring the brown or white chicken stock to a simmer in a small stockpot over medium heat. Add the roasted rabbit pieces and continue to simmer. Reduce the oven heat to 375 degrees F.
  • Meanwhile, puree the onion, fennel, celery, garlic and 1 tablespoon rosemary leaves in the food processor. Scrape the puree into a bowl.
  • Coat a large Dutch oven with some of the olive oil and heat over medium heat. Season the rabbit lollipops with salt and brown on all sides. Transfer the lollipops to a plate. Add the pureed vegetables and cook, stirring frequently, until almost dry.
  • Add the white wine and let it bubble away until reduced by half. Stir in the mustard. Return the rabbit lollipops to the pan and add enough simmering stock to cover by 2/3. Simmer about 10 minutes, add 2 full ladles of rabbit stock, simmer another 10 minutes, and add 2 more ladles of stock. Continue to cook the rabbit until tender, about 30 minutes more, stirring occasionally. Stir in the remaining heaping teaspoon of whole grain mustard.
  • While the lollipops cook, cube the thigh meat. Put it in the bowl of a food processor with the hearts and livers, the remaining 1 1/2 teaspoons rosemary, the Parmesan cheese and some salt. Pulse to combine. With the processor running, stream in the cream until the mixture is smooth. This is the forcemeat.
  • Cut the caul fat so that you have 2 pieces a little bit larger than the saddles with the loins attached. Spread the pieces of caul fat on a cutting board and lay the prosciutto on top to cover. Put a saddle on each one. Scoop the forcemeat onto the saddles between the loins and roll everything up so that the caul fat encloses the whole bundle. Season with salt. Tie with butcher's twine in a few spots.
  • Coat a medium skillet with some of the remaining olive oil and heat over medium-high heat. Add the loins seam-side down and brown them well on all sides. Leave the skillet over the heat. Transfer the loins to a small baking sheet and roast until a meat thermometer inserted in the center registers 160 degrees F, about 15 minutes.
  • While the rabbit loins roast, ladle some rabbit stock into the pan you browned them in and scrape any brown bits with a wooden spoon; add the mixture to the pot of rabbit stock.
  • For the ragu: Coat a medium skillet with olive oil and heat over medium heat. Add the spring onion, season with salt, and sweat them, stirring occasionally, until softened; you don¿t want them to take on any color. Add the mushrooms and cook for 1 minute. Stir in the fava beans and rabbit stock and cook just to heat the beans through.
  • To serve: Slice the loins into thick rounds. Spoon some Polenta and ragu into the centers of 4 dinner plates. Divide the rabbit legs and sliced loin over and around the vegetables, and serve immediately.
  • Bring the milk, 2 cups water and bay leaf to a boil in a medium saucepan over high heat. Season generously with salt, almost to the point of over-seasoning. How do you know that you are there? TASTE IT!
  • When the liquid reaches a boil, slowly whisk in the polenta in small sprinkles. Once all of the polenta has been incorporated, reduce the heat to medium and immediately switch over to stirring with a wooden spoon. Cook the polenta until it begins to pull away from the pan, adding water to loosen it up if it becomes too thick.
  • When the polenta is thoroughly cooked, it should look creamy and not feel gritty on your tongue, about 5 minutes. Remove it from the heat and stir in the Parmesan, mascarpone and chives.

Time 1h15m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

8 rabbit hind legs, about 2 1/2 to 3 pounds
Salt
pepper
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
4 large shallots, thinly sliced
1/3 cup cornichons, halved
1/4 cup cornichon brine
3 tablespoons white wine vinegar

Whisk in butter a piece at a time, and adjust salt and pepper to taste. Return rabbit, cornichons and shallots to the pan until just reheated. Stir in parsley. To serve, place 2 legs on each plate, and top with some shallots, cornichons and sauce.

RED-WINE BRAISED RABBIT WITH SAGE POLENTA



Red-Wine Braised Rabbit with Sage Polenta image

Categories     Herb     Braise     Valentine's Day     Fall     Gourmet

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
a 2 1/2- to 3-pound rabbit, thawed if frozen, cut into 7 or 8 serving pieces
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 large onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 teaspoons minced fresh rosemary leaves
1 1/2 cups chicken broth
1 cup dry red wine
2 tablespoons coarsely chopped fresh parsley leaves
2 tablespoons minced fresh sage leaves or 1 teaspoon dried, crumbled
1 recipe basic polenta, kept warm
For basic polenta:
4 cups water
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup cornmeal or instant polenta

Steps:

  • In a large bowl stir together flour and salt. Add rabbit and toss to coat. In a heavy kettle heat 2 tablespoons oil over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking and brown rabbit in batches, transferring pieces to a bowl.
  • Add onion and remaining tablespoon oil to kettle and sauté, stirring occasionally, until softened but not browned. Stir in garlic and rosemary and sauté, stirring, 1 minute. Add broth, wine, and rabbit with any juices accumulated in bowl and simmer, covered, 1 hour, or until rabbit is tender. Remove lid and simmer until sauce is thickened slightly. Stir in parsley.
  • Stir sage into warm polenta. Serve polenta topped with rabbit and sauce.
  • To make basic polenta:
  • In a heavy saucepan bring water and salt to a boil and gradually whisk in cornmeal in a thin stream. Cook polenta over moderately low heat (it should be barely boiling), stirring constantly, until very thick and pulls away from side of pan, about 40 minutes for cornmeal and about 15 minutes 2for instant polenta. Remove pan from heat and cover to keep warm. Stir polenta just before using. Polenta will keep warm, covered, about 20 minutes. Makes about 3 cups.
  • Note: In the traditional method of cooking polenta, forty minutes of constant stirring is required to achieve a lumpless texture and fragrant flavor. However, Italian-food expert Marcella Hazan has developed a method that involves very little stirring during this time. We believe it produces a very good polenta, one nearly as flavorful and smooth as the traditional procedure. To make satisfactory polenta in a real hurry, an imported instant polenta (precooked cornmeal) is available. This cooks in a mere fifteen minutes.
