A walk around Ischia

Coniglio all'ischitana is the most traditional dish of Ischia

The rabbit, together with a whole head of garlic, is browned in touches in the sartana, a traditional copper pan. After browning, it is transferred into the "tiano", a pot in terracotta, particularly suitable because it evens the heat of the flame and maintains the humidity.

White wine is then added together with cherry tomatoes and a sprig of thyme. When cooked, the sauce is flavored with basil and parsley, while the entrails, in particular intestine and liver, considered one of the finest pieces, previously cleaned and soaked in water lemon and wine, are cooked (added after the browning phase) wrapped in parsley. The sauce obtained at the end of cooking is used to season the pasta.
