What You’ll Need

Before we dive into the cooking process, let’s gather all the necessary ingredients:

  • 1 whole hare, cleaned and cut into pieces
  • 4 onions, finely chopped
  • 4 cloves of garlic, minced
  • 2 carrots, diced
  • 2 celery stalks, chopped
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 1 cup red wine
  • 2 cups chicken or vegetable broth
  • 1 can (14 oz) diced tomatoes
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Preparing the Hare

Start by washing the hare pieces thoroughly and patting them dry with paper towels. Season each piece with salt and pepper, ensuring they are evenly coated. Set aside for about 15 minutes to allow the flavors to penetrate.

Cooking the Hare

Heat olive oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat. Add the hare pieces and brown them on all sides. This step helps seal in the juices and adds a wonderful depth of flavor.

Once the hare is nicely browned, remove it from the pot and set it aside for later. In the same pot, add the chopped onions and minced garlic. Sauté until they turn golden brown and become fragrant.

Add the diced carrots and chopped celery to the pot. Cook for a few minutes until they begin to soften. Then, pour in the red wine and let it simmer for a couple of minutes, allowing the alcohol to evaporate.

Return the hare pieces to the pot along with any juices that may have collected. Stir in the diced tomatoes, bay leaves, and chicken or vegetable broth. Bring the mixture to a boil and then reduce the heat to low.

Cover the pot and let the hare simmer for about 2 hours or until the meat is tender and cooked through. Make sure to stir occasionally and add more broth if needed to prevent it from drying out.

Serving the Hunter-style Hare

Once the hare is cooked to perfection, remove it from the heat. Let it rest for a few minutes before serving.

This hearty dish pairs wonderfully with mashed potatoes, polenta, or crusty bread. Garnish with fresh parsley or rosemary for an extra touch of flavor.

Congratulations! You’ve just mastered the art of making Hunter-style Hare, a beloved traditional recipe that will surely become a staple in your culinary repertoire. With its rich flavors and tender meat, this dish is perfect for cozy family dinners or special occasions. So, gather your loved ones around the table and savor the goodness of this timeless classic!
