Preparation time: 30 minutes
Cooking time: 1 hour and 30 minutes
Total time: 2 hours
Number of servings: 4-6

Ingredients:

*For the rabbit roll:*
- 1 medium-sized store-bought rabbit roll
- 1 large onion
- 2 garlic cloves
- 5 carrots
- A piece of fresh lovage
- Olive oil (for frying)
- 1 glass of white wine
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
- 1 sprig of rosemary

*For the sautéed cabbage:*
- 1 medium cabbage
- Olive oil (for frying)
- 1 onion
- 1 and a half glasses of white wine
- Salt to taste
- 4 tablespoons of tomato sauce
- 1 tablespoon of dried oregano

Preparation:

1. Preparing the ingredients: Start by cleaning the vegetables. Chop the onion and garlic finely, and cut the carrots into small cubes. Place them in a bowl. The lovage can be finely chopped or left in small bunches, depending on your preference.

2. Searing the roll: In a large pot, heat the olive oil. Add the rabbit roll with the string and let it brown well on all sides. This step is essential to seal in the flavors. Cover the pot to speed up the process.

3. Add the vegetables: Once the roll is evenly browned, add the chopped vegetables. Let them sauté together for a few minutes, stirring occasionally. Now is the time to deglaze with the white wine, which will add a sophisticated note to the sauce.

4. Boil the roll: Add the sprig of rosemary and enough water (about 500 ml) to cover the roll. Let everything simmer on low heat for about 1 hour and a half, or until the meat becomes tender. It is important to check the consistency of the sauce and add salt to taste.

5. Preparing the sauce: After the roll is boiled, remove it from the pot and let it cool slightly. Carefully remove the string and cut the roll into thick slices of about 2 cm. If you have an electric knife, use it to achieve perfect slices.

6. Transform the vegetables into sauce: Use an immersion blender to turn the cooked vegetables into sauce. Blend well until you achieve a smooth and creamy consistency. Season the sauce with a little pepper and salt, if necessary.

7. Preparing the sautéed cabbage: While the roll cools, you can start preparing the cabbage. Cut the cabbage into thin strips and add it to a pot with a little olive oil, along with the finely chopped onion. Let them sauté for a minute, then deglaze with the white wine. Cover and let it evaporate. Add salt and oregano, stirring occasionally. If the cabbage reduces too much, you can add a little boiled water.

8. Serving: When you're ready to serve, heat the roll in the carrot sauce and the cabbage in the pot. Place the slices of roll on a plate, cover them with the carrot sauce, and serve with sautéed cabbage on the side. This combination is perfect and pairs wonderfully with a glass of white wine.

Practical Tips:
- If you can't find rabbit roll, you can use chicken or turkey meat. The taste will be different, but just as delicious.
- Rabbit roll is a healthy choice, being high in protein and low in fat.
- The vegetables in the sauce can vary: you can add bell peppers or celery to diversify the flavors.
- Vary the spices: feel free to experiment with thyme or basil to add a personal twist.

Frequently Asked Questions:
1. Can I prepare the rabbit roll a day in advance?
- Absolutely! The roll can be prepared ahead of time, and when serving, you can reheat it in the sauce. The flavors will intensify even more.

2. What side dishes can I use?
- Besides sautéed cabbage, the roll pairs perfectly with roasted potatoes or a fresh green salad.

3. How long can the sauce last?
- The sauce can be stored in the refrigerator for 2-3 days, and the flavors will improve as it sits.
