Baked rabbit is an excellent main course, perfect to serve for a Sunday family lunch! Pair it with Grignolino, a light ruby red wine with an initial spicy aroma, black pepper and small red fruit notes, which then evolves in the glass offering a softer and broader follow-up with sweeter fruit notes, an enveloping and intense taste, good persistence, and the characteristic light tannin of Grignolino, just perceptible.
Prepare the vegetable broth or use hot water in equal weight.
Chop the rosemary and transfer half of it to a pan with 40 g of oil and a clove of garlic.
Add a bay leaf and let it infuse over low heat for 2-3 minutes.
Increase the heat, add the rabbit pieces and brown them on both sides for 3-4 minutes, season with salt and pepper.
Deglaze with white wine, let the alcohol evaporate, add a ladle of broth and cook over low heat for 5-6 minutes.
Peel the potatoes, cut them into large chunks and slice the onion.
In a bowl, mix the potatoes and onions with rosemary, thyme, salt, pepper and 20 g of oil.
Spread the potatoes and onions on an oiled baking tray with 10 g of oil, add the rabbit pieces and the remaining broth.
Bake in a preheated static oven at 200°C for 40 minutes.
Serve the baked rabbit while still steaming.
