Roasted Rabbit With Ligurian Chickpea Cake And Chanterelles Recipes

Steps:

• Place rabbit pieces in a large bowl and toss with rosemary, oregano, garlic, salt and pepper. Cover loosely with plastic wrap and let stand at room temperature for 1 hour.
• Heat oven to 400 degrees. In a small saucepan over medium heat, simmer wine until reduced by half.
• Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add rabbit pieces and garlic in a single layer and cook until meat is golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes a side. (If the garlic gets too dark before the rabbit is finished browning, put the garlic on top of the rabbit to keep it from cooking more.)
• Put lemon slices, olives and half the butter into the pan. Pour in reduced wine. Cover and transfer to oven for 5 minutes. Uncover and scatter feta over top. Continue cooking until rabbit is just cooked through, 5 to 10 minutes more. Stir in remaining butter and more salt if needed, and serve.

Steps:

• In a large saucepan, heat the oil and brown the rabbit on both sides. Add onions, peppers, and garlic, and saute for 10 minutes. Add paprika, bay leaves, oregano, tomatoes, sherry, and chicken stock. Cook for 1 hour. Add potatoes, capers, and dried cherries. Cook for 1 more hour, or until potatoes are tender. Serve and garnish with sweet peas and parsley.

Steps:

• Heat a stockpot with 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat, sear the rabbit shoulders until they are a dark golden brown. Add the carrot, onion, celery, and garlic. Sweat vegetables for 2 to 3 minutes. Add the juniper berry, thyme, rosemary, and cinnamon stick. Add water to cover the ingredients and simmer for 30 minutes.
• Heat a saute pan with 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat, add the shallots and sweat until they are translucent. Add the wine and reduce by 1/2. Stir in the parsley and tarragon.

• Heat a saute pan with 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat, add the chanterelle mushrooms and saute until golden brown. Reserve warm on back of stovetop.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• In a mixing bowl, combine the chopped meat and shallot mixture to form the filling. Season the rabbit loins with salt and black pepper. Fill the center of the loin with the filling. Roll the loin into a log shape. Wrap a tobacco leaf around each rabbit. Tie the rabbit with butcher's twine to keep its shape.
• Place rabbit onto a baking rack with a drip pan underneath. Roast in oven for 10 to 12 minutes or until internal temperature is 160 degrees F. Remove rabbit from oven. Let rest for 5 minutes. Remove tobacco leaves and slice. Serve with sauteed chanterelle mushrooms.

Steps:

• Salt and pepper the rabbit loin. In a large saute pan, heat oil and butter over high heat. Sear the loin on all sides and then cook to medium doneness for about 2 more minutes. Set aside and keep warm.

Keep in the refrigerator until needed.

Steps:

• Caribou Loin and Sauce: Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Put 2 1/2 ounces of butter and 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large saute pan and heat. Season the caribou with salt and pepper. Sear caribou over low heat. Remove the meat from the pan, add the wild mushrooms and shallots. After searing the meat, put it in a pan and cook in the oven for 15 minutes. It is very important that you served this meat rare or medium rare.
• Deglaze the pan with the red wine. Add the veal stock and the currant jelly. Reduce the mixture by half. Add salt and pepper, to taste.
• Potatoes: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Peel the potatoes and boil for 20 to 25 minutes. Drain the potatoes and mash. Place back in the pot with 1-1/2 ounce of butter, the mashed roasted garlic, the roasted bacon and the hot milk.
• Vegetables: Working in batches, in a large saute pan over high heat, melt butter and toss to heat vegetable through. Season with salt and pepper.
• Dressing of the plate: In a plate, place a quenelle of mashed potato, the blanched vegetables on the side and then the meat. Pour the sauce on the meat.

• Pound the lamb with a meat mallet until it is 1 1/2-inches thick. In a large saute pan with butter on medium heat, add the chanterelles and saute until dark brown in color. Set the mushrooms aside until needed.
• Season the interior of the leg with the shallots, salt, and pepper. Lay the chevre and Sauteed mushrooms evenly down the center of the pounded out leg. Roll the leg into the shape of a log and tie with butcher's string to hold the round shape. Season the exterior of the leg with salt and pepper.
• In a large saute pan with the olive oil on medium-high heat, sear all sides of the lamb. Place the seared leg onto a wire rack with a baking tray underneath. Place the leg in the oven and roast for approximately 1 hour, or until desired internal temperature has been reached. For rare lamb, roast to an internal temperature of 140 degrees F. and 170 degrees F. for well done.
• When the pan is removed from the oven, let the lamb rest for 10 minutes at room temperature before slicing. This will prevent the juices from leaving the lamb and drying out the meat.
