Lapin Sauté A La Charentaise

– a Charentaise recipe to try

Ingredients: (for 4 or 5 people)

1 young rabbit
10 to 20 whole garlic cloves (dependant on size & preference)
1 glass of white wine
5 cl cognac
Salt, pepper, oil and chopped parsley

What to do:

Place a little oil in a casserole large enough to take the whole rabbit, and brown the rabbit on all sides over a medium heat. Season with salt and pepper, raise the heat and add the cognac, light and flambé until the alchol has burnt off.

Add a glass of water and the garlic cloves, cover and simmer on a low heat for ¾ of an hour until the rabbit is cooked.

Towards the end of the cooking time, heat the white wine in a small saucepan until reduced.

Remove the rabbit to a warmed serving dish, add the white wine to the pan juices and mix well then pour them over the rabbit and dress with the chopped parsley before serving.
