Anna & Bruno’s Tuscan Stew with Polenta

Anna and Bruno are Michaella’s neighbours in her family’s village in Tuscany. While there recently they invited her over for dinner and made a delicious rabbit stew. As is tradition, she took note and recorded this special dish but has since rabbit isn’t always the easiest ingredient to locate in her local London supermarkets she’s trialled it with both chicken thighs and mushrooms. Anna and Bruno are quite the husband and wife team with her signature stew results in tender meat and well-reduced flavours, while Bruno is the polenta master; he even cuts it with a special curved stick. He lets it rest until nearly solid and then separating it into small rounds for serving. If you’e trying this at home we recommend employing someone as your polenta-master; but curved rustic sticks might hard to come by so a large serving spoon will do the trick, we reckon.
