Coniglio alla cacciatora or hunter’s style rabbit is a delicious Italian dish made with unboned rabbit meat cut into small pieces, marinated in vinegar and cooked in rosso— meaning with tomatoes, and lots of red wine.

Conejo al ajillo is a traditional dish that's believed to originate from the farmers who used to cook in their countryside cabins. The dish is made with rabbit, potatoes, garlic, vinegar, salt, and olive oil. The rabbit is cut into smaller pieces and fried in olive oil until browned.
The potatoes are fried and then placed in the pan with the rabbit, lots of crushed garlic, vinegar, and salt. The rabbit is then cooked until the vinegar has evaporated. Once done, it's recommended to serve conejo al ajillo in a clay pot, with a fresh salad and allioli on the side.

There are numerous variations on this specialty throughout Spain, with some calling for making the dish in the style of a paella, where it consists of a thin layer of rice with pieces of rabbit on top, and others preparing it as an arroz caldoso, retaining a little bit of the cooking liquid.
Apart from the rabbit and rice, other typical ingredients used for making this dish include onions, tomatoes, peppers, carrots, garlic, and olive oil, while the combination is usually flavored with saffron, bay leaves, paprika, salt, and pepper.
