Ingredients

The Rabbit

4 rabbit legs and thighs
2 tablespoons olive oil
½ cup

Method

Season the rabbit legs. Put the olive oil in a nonreactive skillet and heat it to medium. Put the legs in the hot oil and turn them a couple of times to lightly brown them on both sides. Turn off the heat, pour in one-quarter of the brandy and flame it. Then add the white wine and cook another 2 minutes. Put the vegetable mix around the rabbit legs, and add the tarragon stems and herb bundle. C
