Trevise (also treviso) is an Italian cultivar of radicchio, which is less bitter than its parent and which makes a wonderful colour and flavour contrast in this dish.

Method:

Heat a griddle pan and brush the rabbit meat with a little oil. Set on the griddle pan and cook under medium heat for about seven minutes a side, or until thoroughly cooked. Meanwhile, remove the rind from the pancetta and fry gently in a heavy-bottomed frying pan. Add the sage and a pinch of pepper, stir to heat then put to one side.

Once the rabbit has cooked, transfer to the frying pan along with the garlic and about five drops of the balsamic vinegar along with the pancetta and sage. Ensure that the rabbit pieces are thoroughly coated then wash the trevise thoroughly, cut into three strips each, discarding any blemished leaves.

Lay these on the griddle pan and cook for about four minutes per side. Arrange these on the plate and spoon the rabbit pieces on top. Dress with any of the pan juices and serve with crusty Breads.
