Rabbit in Red Wine
The spread of this tasty rabbit dish in Liguria, is easily explained by the large amount of breeding rabbits that have since ancient times filled the region. Savona and Imperia are the provinces where cooking rabbit rules and is an art. Taggiasche olives make this dish sing and are lovely little gems that are the pride and joy of Liguria. The region produces only a small amount of Taggiasche olives, and so they are a rarity even in Liguria.
