What it is
A traditional Tuscan rabbit dish, adapted for keto. Tender rabbit pieces are slow-cooked in a rich, savory sauce typically made with Vin Santo (a sweet dessert wine), herbs, and aromatics. For the keto version, a very dry white wine or a keto-friendly dry Vin Santo substitute is used, and no flour thickeners are allowed.
Key ingredients
Rabbit pieces (e.g., hind legs, saddle), olive oil, dry white wine (or dry Vin Santo substitute), garlic, rosemary, sage, thyme, a few cherry tomatoes, chicken broth, salt, black pepper, unsalted butter.
How to make it keto
Request no flour or starch as a thickener. Ensure a very dry wine or substitute is used, and no added sugar is present in the sauce. Serve with a side of sautéed greens or cauliflower puree instead of traditional starchy sides.
