Goosecross Cellars Recipe for Syrah
Directions:
Cut rabbits into 8 pieces, dredge in flour and season with salt and pepper. In a 5-quart
heavy casserole, brown the rabbit pieces in 1 tablespoon butter and the olive oil. Remove to a platter.
To the casserole, add 3 tablespoons of butter and 1/2 cup Goosecross Syrah, scraping up the brown bits in the bottom of the pan. Add onions, bell pepper, garlic, mushrooms and herbs. Saute until onions and bell pepper are limp (add a little more butter and oil if needed).
Place browned rabbit pieces back into casserole with sautéed herbs, add the tomatoes, and pour in the balance of the bottle of wine. If needed, add enough water to cover rabbit pieces. Stir to mix well. Simmer, covered, for 30 minutes. Taste for seasonings, then simmer another 30 minutes or until rabbit pieces are tender.
Serves 8

Great wine calls for great food and we are passionate about both here at Goosecross. I love to cook and develop new recipes, so I experiment in the kitchen every week, looking for something really delicious and practical. Then, I share it with you!
After so many years of cooking, I'm pleased to say that we have compiled one of the most comprehensive and versatile recipe collections from any winery. I have personally tested each recipe to be sure it's complete, not overly complicated, and won't leave you with too much clean-up.

As you would expect, all of the recipes are paired with a Goosecross wine! My goal is to save you time and to provide something that you can rely on and be proud to serve to your friends and family.
Most recipes are my own while a few others have been contributed by our staff, Wine Club members and local B&Bs.
I hope you enjoy them. Please visit often because we add more recipes all the time!
