Preparation

  • Dab the rabbit thighs dry with paper towels and sprinkle with pepper and salt. Heat the olive oil in a large stew pan. Fry the rabbit thighs until they’re brown on both sides. Take them out of the pan.
  • Fry the pancetta with the onions, the garlic and the celery for 3 min. Add the red wine and the whole red peeled datterini tomatoes. Put the rabbit thighs back in the pan. Add the olives and bring to the boil.
  • Turn down the heat and roast the meat covered in 2 hours until done. Finely chop the parsley.
  • Put the rabbit thighs on 4 plates, add some stew sauce and sprinkle with the parsley.
  • Boil the polenta according to the instructions on the package and serve with the rabbit bolts. Do not forget to season the polenta with a handful of Parmesan cheese and a generous dollop of butter or a dash of olive oil.
  • Tip: Spread polenta that you have left in an oven dish and let it stiffen. Grill, bake or broil the next day polenta slices until golden brown and crispy.
