Vinegary rabbit is not everyone’s thing

Umbrian Rabbit is from The Classic Food of Northern Italy (Anna del Conte). I love it but the vinegar hit, and the rabbit for that matter, are not to everyone’s taste so I’ve adapted it by using chicken instead of rabbit and wine instead of vinegar. It’s worth trying the original though.

Method

Fry the fennel seeds for 30 seconds then add the garlic and sage battuto, then the odori of onion, carrot, celery and chopped parsley stalks and sweat for 5-10 minutes

Then add the wine and water. Add the chicken and gently simmer until the chicken is cooked – about 15 minutes.

To finish it put the cornflour and water in a small bowl with the lemon zest, chopped anchovies and chopped capers. Add it to the sauce to thicken it with the chopped parsley leaves and simmer for 5 minutes.
