Ingredients
- ½cup Dijon mustard
- 1rabbit, about 3½ pounds, cut in 6 or 7 pieces
- 2strips bacon, diced
- 1onion, peeled and minced
- ½cup all-purpose flour
- 1tablespoon unsalted butter
- 2cups dry white wine
- 3cups chicken broth, homemade or low-sodium canned
- ½teaspoon dried thyme
- ½teaspoon rosemary
- 1bay leaf
- ¼cup heavy cream
- 1teaspoon salt, plus more to taste
- Freshly ground pepper to taste
- 2tablespoons minced parsley
Preparation
- Step 1
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.
- Step 2
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.
- Step 3
Pour the wine into the pan. Over medium-high heat, simmer while scraping up browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
- Step 4
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.
- Step 5
Remove rabbit from pan. Increase heat. Simmer sauce until thickened, about 20 minutes. Stir in cream. Simmer for 5 minutes.
- Step 6
Stir in salt and pepper. Remove bay leaf. Return rabbit to the pan. Stir in parsley. Serve with noodles.

Lynne Twiss This recipe is waaaayyyy off the mark in so many ways! The onions burned in 1 tbs of butter and bacon fat. There was not nearly enough fat to brown all of pieces of rabbit ... more like 1/2 stick. I had to remove the onions to keep them from completely burning. Is the crisp bacon supposed to be put back in with the rabbit or set aside for another use. I won't be happy if i wasted a 30$ rabbit on a recipe I thought came from a very trusted site
