How to Make Hare Rabbit Ragout Les Fougeres

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a heavy-bottomed, oven-proof casserole dish, melt 2 tablespoons of butter and 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add 4 ounces of diced bacon and cook until the fat renders, about 5-7 minutes.
  3. Add 1.5 lbs of cut hare (or chicken) pieces and brown well on all sides, about 8-10 minutes. Remove the hare/chicken from the casserole and set aside.
  4. Add 1 large chopped onion, 1 large chopped carrot, and 4 minced garlic cloves to the casserole. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables soften and begin to brown, about 5-7 minutes.
  5. Return the hare/chicken to the casserole. Stir in 1 cup of dry red wine, 1 cup of chicken broth, 1 teaspoon of dried thyme, 1/2 teaspoon of dried rosemary, 1 bay leaf, 1/4 cup of all-purpose flour, and salt and pepper to taste.
  6. Cover the casserole with a lid and transfer to the preheated oven. Cook for 1 hour, or until the hare/chicken is fork-tender.
  7. Remove from oven and let rest for 10 minutes before serving. Garnish as desired (optional).
