    Juicy and genuine, porchettato rabbit<\/strong> is certainly among the most traditional dishes of the Ancona area<\/span>, the cuisine of this land preserves the oldest and most popular recipes.<\/p>\n

    Inland Marche cuisine has its roots in the rural civilization once dominated by sharecroppers and peasants. The central figure in that agricultural society was the housewife vergara<\/strong><\/span>, who took care of all the housework. This figure over the years developed simple, “massive” dishes that presented a clever use of what was available in the house.<\/p>\n

    First courses consisted mainly of vegetable and bean soups<\/em> while homemade pasta was reserved only for feasts. While as for main courses, they were almost all prepared with white meat from chicken<\/em>. In fact, white meat is very common in Marche cuisine, especially chicken and rabbit, and it is interpreted in various traditional recipes: the typical potacchio (cooked in a pan with tomato sauce), with olives or with onions (in Offida), up to the extraordinary porchettato rabbit<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

    The “in porchetta<\/strong><\/em>” preparation common in other parts of central Italy usually refers to roast suckling pig, stuffed with spices and wild fennel. While recipes that used pork were considered the “dish of the nobles” in the ancient Marche countryside, the “vergare<\/strong>” (women who took care of household chores) strived to cook dishes similar to those of the nobles but using less expensive and more readily available ingredients. Thus, they stuffed rabbit using browned giblets (liver, heart, lungs)<\/em>, pork rinds (if available) and fennel<\/em>. This herb, which grows wild even at roadsides, is very present in the Marche region, and for this reason many recipes within them feature this “spice<\/strong><\/em>.”<\/p>\n
