Don't be wary of cooking with different meats - rabbit can be tender and flavoursome if you have the right recipe (and you absolutely do...)

Ingredients (9)

  • 20g dried porcini mushrooms
  • 1/3 cup (50g) plain flour
  • 1 rabbit, cut into 8 portions
  • 1/4 cup (60ml) olive oil
  • 2 cups (500ml) white wine
  • 4 garlic cloves, finely chopped
  • 2 rosemary sprigs, leaves picked
  • 4 marinated artichoke hearts in oil, drained, quartered
  • 250g Swiss brown mushrooms, sliced

Method

  • 1.
    Preheat the oven to 175°C.
  • 2.
    Soak porcini mushrooms in 1 1/4 cups (310ml) boiling water for 10 minutes or until softened slightly. Drain the porcini, reserving liquid, and set aside. Strain the liquid through a sieve, discarding any grit, and set aside.
  • 3.
    Place flour in a bowl and season with salt and pepper. Lightly dust the rabbit in the seasoned flour.
  • 4.
    Heat 1 1/2 tbs oil in an flameproof casserole over medium-high heat. Cook the rabbit, turning, for 5 minutes or until browned all over. Add the wine and cook for 3 minutes or until slightly evaporated. Add the porcini and reserved soaking liquid, garlic and rosemary, then bring to the boil. Cover, place in the oven and cook for 45 minutes.
  • 5.
    Add artichoke hearts to the casserole, cover and cook for a further 15 minutes or until rabbit is tender and cooked through.
  • 6.
    Meanwhile, heat remaining 1 1/2 tbs oil in a frypan over high heat. Add Swiss brown mushrooms and cook for 5 minutes or until softened and golden, and all the liquid is absorbed, then season with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper.
  • 7.
    To serve, divide rabbit among plates and top with Swiss brown mushrooms, artichoke hearts and cooking juices.
