Ingredients: 1 chopped rabbit and clean, 300 gr. of French onions, 2 tomatoes, 2 carrots, 1 glass of white wine, 2 bay leaves, black peppercorns, parsley (if possible fresh), extra virgin olive oil and Salt.
Elaboration:
- We salt the rabbit and place it in a casserole with extra virgin olive oil and fry it for a few minutes. Add the white wine and let it cook until the alcohol evaporates.
- Cover the meat with water and add the peeled and whole onions, the well-washed tomatoes without stem too, and the 2 laurel leaves. We let it boil for a couple of hours adding water if we see that the meat stays dry.
- Once cooked, check that the meat is tender, if not, leave a little more. When the rabbit is well cooked, add a few grains of pepper (to taste) and the carrots made small slices. We let cook everything for about 20 more minutes.
Serve the dish very hot and if desired, sprinkle with a little chopped parsley.
Bon Appetite!
In 1994, Pablo Eguzkiza and Telmo Rodriguez together with a third winemaker made a wine from Garnacho, from old vineyards in the Navarre glass. The wine was called Alma. This is the start of the project, which in its origins was called La Granja Wine Company. A name that was all a declaration of intentions: it was clear that the company would make more wines and that there was a tribute to La Granja, the famous glass factory, witness of an exceptional Spanish craftsmanship, now almost disappeared.
Since its inception, the fundamental argument of the Telmo Rodriguez Wine Company is the use only of autochthonous varieties of original zones. This philosophy contrasts then with the boom of the implantation of foreign varieties, practically in all the Spanish vineyard.
Another initiative to which the project wants to pay special attention, also from its origins, is the recovery of forgotten vineyards.
