Cacciatore, whose name means hunter in Italian, is an Italian dish prepared with onions, herbs, usually tomatoes, often peppers, and sometimes wine. It is most commonly made with braised chicken, known as pollo alla cacciatora, though rabbit, lamb, capon, and potatoes are also prepared in the cacciatore style. Preparations vary by region: southern Italian versions often use red wine while northern Italian versions typically use white wine, and some versions add mushrooms.
