Lapin A La Moutarde Mustard Rabbit Recipes

Steps:

• Cut the rabbit into 12 serving pieces. Place the pieces in a mixing bowl. Add the mustard and coat all the pieces well. Cover with plastic wrap. Place in the refrigerator and marinate for two to three hours, or more.
• When ready to cook, heat the oil in a nonstick skillet. Add the rabbit pieces and the onions. Brown for about 10 minutes, stirring and turning the pieces.
• Place the bacon slices in the bottom of a heavy skillet and cook over medium heat. Add the rabbit, onions, thyme, bay leaf and wine. Bring to a boil. Cover and simmer about 40 minutes, or until done. Remove cover and continue cooking for five minutes. Add the cream and cook for one minute. Add salt and pepper if necessary. Remove bay leaf and serve.

Steps:

• Wipe the rabbit pieces with paper towels and coat with a mixture of the mustard butter and oil. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
• Arrange in a greased casserole and pour in the white wine. Cook, covered, for 45 minutes, basting frequently. Season with salt and pepper and remove from casserole.
• Pour in the cream and over low heat on top of the stove scrape up the cooking juices. Correct seasonings. Return the rabbit to the pan and coat thoroughly with sauce. Serve in a heated casserole dish, sprinkled with parsley.
