RABBIT WITH MUSTARD SAUCE
I found a recipe on the net to use our last rabbit in the freezer-we both agreed it was amazing. The ORIGINAL recipe on Group Recipes had no garlic, sage or thyme and used 4 tablespoons of oil. I used well flavoured home made chicken stock, so didn't need any additional seasoning at the end. Rabbit is super healthy and the 200g of meat we each ate would be the equivalent of a skinless chicken breast of the same size (no matter what the Food nutritional data seems to think!) I jointed an 800g rabbit myself and reckon it was around 500g of joints in 6 pieces.

LAPIN A LA COCOTTE - FRENCH RABBIT STEW
Rabbit is truly delicious and very lean - yet rich-tasting. This is a delicious preparation with bacon and red wine and tastes best with mashed potatoes or buttery egg noodles. It doesn't take long to prepare, but long slow cooking does make it even better.

Tips:
- Use a good quality mustard. The mustard is the star of this dish, so make sure you use a good quality one. Dijon mustard is a classic choice, but you can also use a whole grain mustard or a flavored mustard, such as honey mustard or horseradish mustard.
- Brown the rabbit pieces well. Browning the rabbit pieces will help to develop their flavor and give the stew a richer color. Be sure to brown the pieces in batches so that they don't overcrowd the pan and steam instead of brown.
- Use a good quality white wine. The white wine adds a subtle flavor to the stew. Use a dry white wine, such as a Sauvignon Blanc or a Chardonnay.
- Don't overcook the rabbit. Rabbit is a delicate meat, so it's important not to overcook it. The rabbit is done cooking when it is tender and cooked through, but still slightly pink in the center.
- Serve with a side of mashed potatoes or rice. Le lapin à la moutarde is a hearty and flavorful stew that pairs well with a side of mashed potatoes or rice.
Conclusion:
Le lapin à la moutarde is a classic French dish that is sure to impress your guests. The mustard gives the stew a tangy and flavorful sauce, and the rabbit is cooked until it is tender and juicy. This dish is perfect for a special occasion or a cozy weeknight meal.
