How to Make Andorran Cunillo Rabbit In Tomato Sauce

  1. Wash and clean a whole rabbit (approximately 1.5 kg), rub with 1 tablespoon of white wine vinegar, then joint and cut into approximately 15 serving pieces.
  2. Add 2 tablespoons of olive oil to a large cast iron casserole dish (or Dutch oven). Brown the rabbit pieces over medium-high heat, working in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan. This will take about 8-10 minutes total.
  3. Remove the browned rabbit pieces with a slotted spoon and set aside.
  4. Add 4 cloves minced garlic, 1 medium chopped onion (about 1 cup), and 1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes to the pan. Cook gently for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened.
  5. Add 1 bay leaf, 1 teaspoon dried thyme, and 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano.
  6. Pour in 1/2 cup dry white wine and 1 cup water. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat.
  7. Reduce the heat to medium-low, and simmer until the sauce has reduced by about half (approximately 15-20 minutes).
  8. Return the rabbit to the casserole dish. Season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
  9. Reduce heat to low, cover securely, and simmer gently for 90 minutes, or until the rabbit is incredibly tender and easily falls off the bone. Check occasionally and add a little more water if the sauce becomes too thick.
