Sauteed Rabbit With Roasted Red Peppers Recipes

SAUTéED RABBIT WITH MUSTARD SAUCE

Steps:

• Sprinkle the rabbit pieces with salt and pepper.
• Prepare the onions, mushrooms and garlic and set aside. Tie the parsley, thyme sprigs and bay leaf into a bundle and set aside.
• Heat the oil and butter in a heavy casserole and add the rabbit pieces. Cook until golden brown on one side, about four or five minutes, and turn the pieces. Cook about two minutes on the second side and pour off the fat.
• Add the mushrooms, onions and garlic, and stir. Sprinkle with flour and stir to coat the ingredients evenly.
• Add the wine, chicken broth and tomato paste, and stir. Add the herb bundle. Bring to the boil. Cover closely and let simmer one hour.
• Scoop out about one cup of the sauce and stir the mustard into it. Return this mixture to the casserole and stir. Bring the mixture barely to the simmer. Remove the herb bundle and serve.

MARINATED ROASTED RED PEPPERS

Steps:

• Lay peppers on their sides on racks of gas burners and turn flames on moderately high. Roast, turning frequently with tongs, until skins are blackened, 5 to 8 minutes. (Or broil on rack of a broiler pan about 4 inches from heat, turning frequently, 15 to 20 minutes.)
• Transfer to a bowl, then cover, and let steam 10 minutes. Alternatively, place peppers in resealable plastic bags to steam. Peel peppers and discard stems and seeds. Cut lengthwise into 1-inch-wide strips.
• In a bowl, place cleaned peppers. Douse with balsamic vinegar, salt, and pepper, to taste.

SAUTEED SPINACH WITH ROASTED RED PEPPERS

Steps:

• Heat the olive oil in a large saute pan over medium heat. Add the crushed red pepper and garlic and cook briefly, about 1 minute, being careful not to brown the garlic. Add the spinach and cook until wilted. Add the roasted red peppers, season with salt and pepper and toss to combine.

FRICASSE OF RABBIT WITH 'REISLING'

Steps:

• Blanquette: Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Season rear legs with salt and pepper, dust with super-fine flour. Lightly brown in butter. In a large rondeau over medium heat, lightly brown bones, all vegetables and aromatics and sweat slowly. Place rabbit legs on top of vegetables and deglaze with Riesling. Bring to a slow simmer and reduce until all of the liquid has nearly evaporated. Add the chicken stock 2/3 of the way up the meat. Cover and braise in oven until tender, approximately 45 minutes to 1 hour and 15 minutes.
• Spaetzle: In a small mixer, blend egg yolks, flour, fromage blanc, nutmeg and salt and pepper. Whisk slowly to form a paste. Whisk in milk slowly until mixture is slightly heavier than a pancake batter. Pass through a small colander into the boiling water until the spaetzle comes to the surface. Remove spaetzle to a baking sheet lined with a paper towel. Once spaetzle is dry, heat vegetable oil in a saute pan until hot. Add the spetzele and cook until crisp. Remove spaetzle from pan onto a paper towel lined baking sheet. Drizzle with white truffle oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper.

ROASTED RED PEPPERS WITH GARLIC

• Transfer peppers to reserved bowl; cover tightly with plastic wrap. Cool 15 minutes. Peel and seed peppers over bowl. Tear each pepper lengthwise into 6 strips. Transfer pepper strips to heavy large skillet. Strain liquid from bowl into skillet. Add garlic, vinegar, and 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil to skillet. Simmer over medium heat until liquid becomes syrupy, stirring frequently, about 25 minutes. Cool. (Can be made 4 hours ahead. Cover; let stand at room temperature.)
• Transfer pepper mixture to platter. Sprinkle with parsley and serve.
