INSTRUCTIONS
Okay, here are those recipes I promised from the February 1997 issue of Gourmet. They look great. As for emailing out of MasterCook, well, I need to set the thing up, I'm missing some file or another, yada, yada, yada, so here they are NOT in MC format. Hope they come through okay. Preheat oven to 325 F. Cut mushrooms into 1/4 inch thick slices. Pat rabbit and reserved liver dry. Season rabbit with salt and pepper and dredge in flour, shaking off excess. In a large heavy ovenproof skillet heat oil over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking and brown rabbit on all sides. Transfer rabbit to a plate and in skillet saute pancetta or bacon, stirring, until golden. Add onion and chopped garlic and saute, stirring, until onion is golden. Add vinegar and wine and deglaze skillet, scraping up browned bits. Simmer onion mixture until liquid is evaporated, about 5 minutes. Cut off and discard top 1/4 inch head of garlic, exposing cloves and head to onion mixture with broth, water and herbs. Bring mixture to a simmer and season with salt and pepper. Stir in mushrooms and rabbit and braise, covered, in middle of oven 1 hour or until meat is tender. Transfer rabbit to a plate and cool slightly. Remove garlic head and squeeze softened cloves into sauce, discarding skins. Mash garlic with a fork and stir sauce well. Using 2 forks shred meat, discarding bones, and stir into sauce with reserved liver, if using. Simmer sauce over moderate heat 10 minutes and season with salt and pepper. Sauce may be made 1 day ahead and cooled, uncovered before being chilled, covered. In an 8 qt. kettle bring 7 qts. salted water to boil. Cook pasta until al dente and drain in a colander. In a large heated bowl immediately toss pasta with sauce and garnish with parsley. Serves 4 to 6 as a main course.

A Message from our Provider:
“Let Him therefore send and do what He will. By His grace, if we are His, we will face it, bow to it, accept it, and give thanks for it. God’s Providence is always executed in the ‘wisest manner’ possible. We are often unable to see and understand the reasons and causes for specific events in our lives, in the lives of others, or in the history of the world. But our lack of understanding does not prevent us from believing God. #Don Fortner”
