Description
Marche's rabbit prepared in the porchetta style — a whole rabbit deboned and stuffed with the same aromatic filling used for porchetta (wild fennel fronds, garlic, rosemary, black pepper, salt, and liver from the animal), then rolled tightly, tied, and roasted in the wood oven until the skin crisps and crackles. The rolling concentrates the aromatics inside the rabbit roll, so every slice contains a spiral of the fennel-herb stuffing. The technique transforms a small, lean animal into a self-basting, aromatic roast.

The Thread
—The same deboning-stuffing-rolling-roasting technique applied to pig vs. rabbit — both use wild fennel as the defining aromatic, demonstrating how a regional technique transfers across proteins Umbrian
—Both stuff and roll a deboned rabbit with herb-based filling before roasting — French uses thyme and mustard, Marchigiano uses wild fennel and garlic, both using the rolling to concentrate aromatics through the lean rabbit meat French
IV
Flavour Context
Sweet roasted rabbit with crisp, crackling skin and intense wild-fennel-and-garlic perfume running through every spiral slice — aromatic, lean, and deeply satisfying
