Fennel Frond Pappardelle with Rabbit, Muscat, & Cream for #SundaySupper


I was really excited when I saw the theme for this week's #SundaySupper: on the hunt. Wild, hunted, or foraged foods are a family favorite. However, since all of my hunters were either out of meat or out of town, I had to hunt down some rabbit...at Whole Foods! Thanks to Stacy of Food Luck People Love and Tara of Noshing with the Nolands for hosting this fun event.


This dish is inspired by a recipe in Afield: A Chef's Guide to Preparing and Cooking Wild Game and Fish by Jesse Griffiths. I had intended to make my own pappardelle with fennel fronds mixed into the dough, but we're moving and I have half of my kitchen in the old house and half of the kitchen in the new one. The pasta machine was not where I was making dinner. Darn it. But I did buy fresh lasagna sheets and hand-cut my pappardelle.

Ingredients
  • 1 rabbit
  • olive oil
  • 1 bottle of muscat
  • vegetable stock
  • 1 onion, peeled and diced
  • 1 fennel bulb, chopped
  • 1/2 green cabbage thinly slices
  • pappardelle
  • 1 C organic heavy cream
  • juice and zest from 1 organic lemon
  • 1/2 C chopped Italian parsley

Procedure
Quickly brown the rabbit in souppot with a splash of olive oil, approximately 2 to 3 minutes per side.


Add in the next five ingredients. Use as much vegetable stock as you need to cover the rabbit by 2 inches of water. Bring the pot to a boil, cover, and reduce heat to a simmer. Cook for 80 to 90 minutes.


Remove the rabbit from the pot. Let cool for 10 minutes. Shred the meat, pulling it from the bones. While the rabbit cools, cook your pappardelle and turn the pot up to high. Let boil till the liquid is reduced by half.


Add in the cream, lemon juice, lemon zest, and parsley. Toss in the cooked pappardelle and let stand for 10 minutes. serve hot.


Here's what the rest of the #SundaySupper crew 
brought to the table. Yum!

Quick Pickled Red Onions and Radishes

If you've been reading my blog for even a short amount of time, you probably know how much I love to pickle things. I was just telling a friend you can pickle - with vinegar - or you can ferment - with salt - for similar delicious effect. The latter has digestive benefits and I love to do that, but when I need that pop of sour flavor quickly, I whip up quick pickles that are ready in as little as a day or two. I've Pickled Blueberries , Pickled Asparagus , Pickled Cranberries , Pickled Pumpkin , and even Pickled Chard Stems ! This I did last night for an upcoming recipe challenge that requires I include radishes. Ummmm...of course I'm pickling them! Ingredients  makes 1 quart jar radishes, trimmed and sliced organic red onions, peeled and thinly sliced (I used a mandolin slicer) 3/4 C vinegar (I used white distilled vinegar) 3/4 C water 3 T organic granulated sugar 1 T salt (I used some grey sea salt) 6 to 8 grinds of black pepper Proce
