Pellegrino Artusi used to prepare "risotto alla cacciatora". If you have a little meat left over, try it: toast the rice in oil and butter, add the leftover meat and finish cooking the risotto with stock. Serve with plenty of Parmigiano Reggiano.

PREPARATION |
 |
| 1. |
|
Clean and trim the chicken and rabbit and cut into a medium dice. In a large pot brown the meats in butter along with the chopped herbs, the garlic, and the roughly cut vegetables. |
|
|
| 2. |
|
Once the meat is perfectly browned all around, deglaze with white wine. Reduce on high heat before adding the seeded, diced tomatoes and the tomato purée. |
|
|
| 3. |
|
Adjust the seasoning and cook over a low heat for about 60 minutes. If the pan gets too dry add a little stock or water. |
