How to Make Ragu Of Slow Braised Rabbit W Chickpeas Rosemary Garlic

  1. Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F). Toss rabbit pieces in 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour, ensuring they are evenly coated, shaking off any excess.
  2. Heat 60ml (1/4 cup) olive oil in a large, deep ovenproof skillet or casserole dish with a tight-fitting lid over medium-high heat.
  3. Add half of the rabbit pieces and cook for 2 minutes per side, until golden brown. Remove and set aside.
  4. Add another 60ml (1/4 cup) olive oil to the pan and brown the remaining rabbit pieces. Remove and set aside.
  5. Wipe the pan clean. Return the pan to the stove over medium heat and add 30ml (2 tablespoons) olive oil.
  6. Add 4 cloves of minced garlic and 2 sprigs of fresh rosemary. Stir for 1-2 minutes until the garlic is lightly golden.
  7. Return the rabbit to the pan. Pour in 250ml (1 cup) dry white wine and 250ml (1 cup) chicken stock. Bring to a gentle simmer.
  8. Cover the surface of the sauce with a piece of baking paper to prevent splattering. Then cover the pan with the lid and transfer to the preheated oven for 30 minutes.
  9. Add 400g (1 can) of drained and rinsed chickpeas. Re-cover and cook for another 30 minutes, or until the rabbit meat is incredibly tender and easily falls off the bone.
  10. Remove the rabbit from the sauce. Once cool enough to handle, shred the meat, discarding the bones. Set the shredded rabbit aside.
  11. Return the ragu pan to the stove over medium-high heat and simmer uncovered for 12-15 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened to your desired consistency.
  12. Add the shredded rabbit back to the ragu. Warm through for 3-4 minutes. Season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
  13. While the sauce is reducing, cook 500g of pasta (your choice) in a large pot of boiling salted water according to package directions.
  14. Drain the pasta, reserving about 1/2 cup of the pasta cooking water.
  15. Stir 2 tablespoons of butter into the ragu. Add the drained pasta and toss well, adding a little pasta water if needed to loosen the sauce.
  16. Serve immediately, topped with freshly grated Parmesan cheese.
