SAUTéED RABBIT WITH MUSTARD SAUCE

Steps:

• Sprinkle the rabbit pieces with salt and pepper.
• Prepare the onions, mushrooms and garlic and set aside. Tie the parsley, thyme sprigs and bay leaf into a bundle and set aside.
• Heat the oil and butter in a heavy casserole and add the rabbit pieces. Cook until golden brown on one side, about four or five minutes, and turn the pieces. Cook about two minutes on the second side and pour off the fat.
• Add the mushrooms, onions and garlic, and stir. Sprinkle with flour and stir to coat the ingredients evenly.
• Add the wine, chicken broth and tomato paste, and stir. Add the herb bundle. Bring to the boil. Cover closely and let simmer one hour.

Pour all back into pot and reduce heat to low. Do not boil. To serve, arrange fillets on a platter, coat with sauce, and garnish with sliced truffle.

RABBIT IN MUSTARD SAUCE

Steps:

• Rub the mustard all over the rabbit. Let stand for 3 hours. About 15 minutes before rabbit is ready, saute the bacon in a large, deep skillet until crisp. Remove bacon with a slotted spoon. Add the onion and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes.
• Wipe the mustard off of the rabbit. Toss with the flour. Add the butter to the pan. Working in 2 batches, saute rabbit pieces until golden on both sides, about 8 minutes for each batch. Remove rabbit from pan and set aside.
• Pour the wine into the pan. Over medium-high heat, simmer while scraping up browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
• Add the chicken broth, thyme, rosemary and bay leaf. Add the rabbit. Bring to a simmer. Reduce heat so that liquid barely simmers. Cook until rabbit is tender, about 1 hour and 15 minutes, skimming top as necessary.
• Remove rabbit from pan. Increase heat. Simmer sauce until thickened, about 20 minutes. Stir in cream. Simmer for 5 minutes.
• Stir in salt and pepper. Remove bay leaf. Return rabbit to the pan. Stir in parsley. Serve with noodles.

WHITE WINE-BRAISED RABBIT WITH MUSTARD

Steps:

• Lay rabbit pieces on a baking sheet and season each piece generously with salt and pepper. (If you are using a pepper mill, adjust it for coarse grind.)
• Heat oven to 375 degrees. Put a deep, heavy-bottomed, oven-safe saucepan or Dutch oven over medium-high heat and add lard or oil.
• Put 1 cup flour on a wide plate. Dip seasoned rabbit pieces in flour and dust off excess. Gently set them in the hot oil in one layer without crowding; work in batches if necessary. Adjust heat to keep them from browning too quickly. Cook for about 3 to 4 minutes on each side until nicely browned.
• Remove browned rabbit from pan and set aside. Add diced onion to fat remaining in pan. Keep heat brisk and cook onions until softened and lightly browned, stirring occasionally, about 5 to 6 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
• Sprinkle onions with 2 tablespoons flour and stir until well incorporated, then cook for a minute or so, until mixture starts to smell toasty. Add wine and 1 cup broth, whisking as the sauce thickens. Whisk in remaining broth and the whole-grain mustard and bring to a simmer. Taste for salt and adjust.
• Return browned rabbit pieces to the sauce. Add thyme and sage. Cover pot and bake for 45 minutes to 1 hour, until meat is fork tender. (Alternatively, simmer over low heat, covered, on the stove top, for about the same amount of time.)
• Using tongs, remove rabbit pieces from sauce, set aside, and keep warm. Put saucepan over medium heat and bring contents to a simmer. Whisk in crème fraîche, Dijon mustard and capers and simmer until somewhat thickened, about 5 minutes. Taste sauce and adjust.
• Transfer rabbit to a warmed serving bowl and ladle the sauce over. Sprinkle generously with chives and a little freshly ground pepper. Accompany with noodles if desired.

• Boil sauce until it is reduced by about half. Whisk in mustard; season to taste.
• Return the rabbit to the sauce for a few minutes to reheat it.

RABBIT IN MUSTARD SAUCE

Steps:

• As indicated in the introduction I have doubled the sauce of the original recipe. You may therefore halve it if you are not as partial to sauce as I am.
• Preheat oven 180°C / 355°F / gas 2.
• Remove any visible fat from the rabbit meat. Rinse rabbit meat under cold water and drain well with kitchen paper.
• Brush pieces with mustard, but do not use too much of it, as it otherwise will burn during the frying process. Generously salt and pepper the meat.
• Fry the meat pieces in portions in hot olive oil in an oven-safe pot until they have a nice colour. Use more oil if necessary. Put browned meat aside.
• Fry onions and bacon in the pot you fried the rabbit for 5 minutes, stirring frequently. Sprinkle with flour and stir. Add wine and stock and bring to a boil while you keep stirring. Add meat and thyme leaves.
• Cover with a lid and cook in the oven for 75-90 minutes or until tender. Remove pot from oven and put on stove. Add cream and 3 tablespoons of Dijon mustard. Mix and check if you want to add another tablespoon. Season to taste. Cook for a few minutes on the stove until the sauce is creamy.
• Serve on individual plates with mashed potatoes and vegetable of your choice. Garnish meat with thyme sprigs or thyme leaves.

RABBIT CASSEROLE WITH MUSTARD SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Remove any fat from the rabbits and wash under cold water. Pat dry with paper towels.
• Cut along both sides of the backbones with kitchen shears and discard bones.
• Cut each rabbit into eight even-sized pieces and pat dry again.
• Heat half the oil in a 2.5 litre flameproof casserole dish. Brown rabbit in batches, adding oil when necessary, then set aside.
• Add the onion and the bacon to the casserole dish and cook, stirring, for 5 minutes or until lightly browned.
• Sprinkle the flour into the pan and mix. Stir with a wooden spoon to scrape up the sediment from the base. Add the stock and wine, and stir until the sauce comes to a boil.
• Return the rabbit to the casserole dish and add the thyme.
• Cover and bake for 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 hours, or until the rabbit is tender and the sauce has thickened.
• Combine the cream and mustard, then stir into the sauce in the casserole.
• Garnish with thyme sprigs and serve.

RABBIT WITH MUSTARD SAUCE

Steps:

• Finely chop onion. Pat rabbit pieces dry and season with salt and pepper. In a deep large heavy skillet heat oil over moderate heat until hot but not smoking and brown rabbit pieces on all sides in 2 batches. Transfer rabbit as browned to a large bowl.
• In skillet cook onion in 1 tablespoon butter over moderately low heat, stirring, until softened. Add wine and boil until liquid is reduced by about half. Return rabbit to skillet and add broth. Simmer rabbit, covered, until tender, about 40 minutes.
• Transfer rabbit to cleaned large bowl and boil sauce until reduced to about 2 cups. In a small bowl whisk together 1/4 cup sauce and mustard and whisk mixture into sauce. In another small bowl stir cornstarch into 1 tablespoon cold water and whisk into sauce. Simmer sauce, whisking, 3 minutes, or until thickened. Whisk in remaining tablespoon butter, parsley, and salt and pepper to taste. Return rabbit to skillet and cook over moderately low heat, turning rabbit to coat with sauce, until heated through.

RABBIT WITH MUSTARD & BACON

Steps:

• Mash the butter with the herbs, garlic and lemon zest, then chill. This can be done up to a day in advance. Use a small sturdy knife to scrape the meat away from the thigh bone part of the rabbit leg. Try and create a pocket around the bone rather than cutting into the actual meat. When you get to the joint, cut or snap the bone away.
• Halve the butter, roll into two logs, then stuff into the cavity of each rabbit leg. Wrap the slices of pancetta around each leg so that they join underneath. The rabbit can be prepared up to a day ahead and kept in the fridge.
• Heat oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7. Place the rabbit on a shallow roasting tray and roast for 20-30 mins (see tip below), then leave to rest for 5 mins. While the rabbit is cooking, make the sauce. Heat the crème fraîche with both mustards and simmer for 2-3 mins until thickened slightly. Season to taste, then add a squeeze of lemon juice and set aside.
• To serve, spoon some sauce onto each plate and carve the rabbit into thick slices. Arrange the rabbit on top of the sauce with some steamed new potatoes on the side.
