Preparation
  Dust the rabbit with flour and season liberally with salt and pepper.
Add 2 tbsp olive oil to an oven-proof pan and brown rabbit pieces on all sides. Remove rabbit and set aside.
Add onions, carrots, celery and garlic to pan and cook until just beginning to brown. Add tomatoes, herbs, fennel seed, wine and stock and bring to a boil.
Add rabbit, cover and place in a preheated 350 degree oven for 50 to 60 minutes or until rabbit is very tender and falling off the bone. Strain reserving all of the braising juices.
Remove rabbit and discard bones and braising vegetables. Set rabbit meat aside.
Place juices in a saucepan and reduce over high heat by 1/2 or until lightly thickened. Season with salt and pepper and keep warm. While braising liquid is reducing, prepare mushrooms.
Add porcini, shallots and remaining 2 tbsp olive oil to a saute pan and quickly saute until just beginning to color. Add fresh mushrooms and saute until softened. Stir in tomatoes, olives and lemon zest and season to taste with salt and pepper. Set aside and keep warm.
Spoon polenta in a large shallow bowl and make a well in the center. Place a portion of gorgonzola in center and top with boned rabbit and the mushroom mixture. Ladle reduced sauce over and around and sprinkle chopped basil over all. Serve immediately.
