Rabbit recipe in grandmother's sauce

Today, I want to share with you a recipe that evokes childhood memories and has been passed down through generations in my family: the delicious "Grandma's Style Rabbit in Gravy."

This preparation is a culinary treasure that has been part of our traditional meals for years, always evoking the love and passion that my grandmother put into every dish she cooked.

Rabbit, a main ingredient in this recipe, is a flavorful, lean meat that has long been prized for its distinctive flavor and nutritional properties. Although in many places it is considered a less conventional meat, its history in the kitchen goes back to ancient times, where it was valued for its versatility and its contribution to food. My grandmother used to say that rabbit is not only delicious, but it is also an excellent source of lean protein, essential vitamins and minerals.

This dish not only pays homage to family traditions, but also offers health benefits. Rabbit meat is low in saturated fat and high in protein, making it an ideal choice for those looking for a healthier alternative to their diet. In addition, it is loaded with nutrients such as vitamin B12, zinc and phosphorus, which play a fundamental role in the optimal functioning of the body.

So it is with great enthusiasm that I invite you to immerse yourself in this recipe that embodies the essence of traditional cooking and that, through the years, has continued to unite our family around the table.

Preparing and enjoying this "Rabbit in Grandma's Style Sauce" will not only be a culinary experience, but also a tribute to the wisdom of past generations and the richness of gastronomy that transcends time. Let's cook and share in honor of tradition and authentic flavor!

How to make the rabbit in sauce recipe

  1. First, we wash the rabbit pieces well and dry them with kitchen paper. Next, season the rabbit with salt and pepper, making sure all sides are coated.
  2. In a large saucepan, heat a little olive oil over medium-high heat. We add the rabbit pieces and brown them on all sides to seal in the juices and improve the flavor. Once they are golden, we take them out of the casserole and put them on a separate plate.
  3. In the same saucepan, add a little more oil if necessary and lower the heat to medium. Add the chopped onion and sauté until transparent and lightly golden. Then, add the chopped garlic cloves and sauté them for a few minutes until they release their aroma.
  4. Then, we add the carrots and red and green peppers, cooking everything until the vegetables begin to soften. Add the chopped tomato and cook until it breaks down and the mixture has a more uniform texture.
  5. Returning the browned rabbit pieces to the casserole along with any juices left on the plate, we pour the red wine over the rabbit and vegetables, letting it cook for a few minutes to allow the alcohol to evaporate.
  6. Then, add the bay leaves, thyme and rosemary to the casserole. Pour enough chicken or vegetable broth to partially cover the ingredients. Bring the mixture to a boil and then reduce the heat to low.
  7. Cover the casserole with a lid and cook over low heat for approximately 40-50 minutes, or until the rabbit is tender and separates easily from the bone. Stir occasionally and add more broth if necessary to maintain the consistency of the sauce.
  8. Once the rabbit is cooked and tender, adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper as needed. Remove the bay leaves, thyme and rosemary from the sauce.
  9. We serve the rabbit in a hot sauce, sprinkled with chopped fresh parsley as a garnish. We accompany this delicious dish with rice, mashed potatoes or crusty bread. Ready to enjoy this classic and comforting rabbit in sauce inspired by our grandmother's recipe!

I started cosmorecipes in 2020 during the time we were cooped up at home. Having so much free time I spent a lot of time in the kitchen trying different dishes. So I decided to mix cooking with my other great passion: web programming. That's why I decided to open this blog where I post the different recipes that I'm cooking.
