bucatini ischitana

Since always on the island, the rabbits were bred with particular care especially during the reign of the Angevin Naples . They loved to go on long hunting trips in the island green . For real will Ischia was particularly ” populated ” by rabbits. The rearing techniques were ameliorated .A special way of preparing rabbit, is still practiced today , expected to be raised in a pit about two feet deep and a leg to a rock and another closed by wooden boards. This allows rabbits to dig themselves a den, but they could not then come out and escape elsewhere . Conveniently served with herbs from at will , the farmers can then take the animals at any time descending into the pit. The rabbits bred in this way will surely have a stronger flavor than those reared more comfortably in a cage. The dish we propose celebrates the flavors of the meat at most of these cute animals.
