Rabbit! Some people will not eat it, however, slow cooked it is delicious - rather expensive , and you COULD use chicken for this recipe if you do not want to go to the expense of buying a rabbit.

However, rabbit is tender, juicy and delicious, and especially done in this sauce! Sauce is also a good way of serving vegetables to people who do not like vegetables - hidden vegetables.

Preparation Time: 15 minutes
Cooking Time: 1 ½ hours
Serves: 3 - 4

Ingredients
1 rabbit, cut into pieces
Up to 2 tbsp olive oil
1 Boquet Garni (Rosemary, Sage, Bay Leaf, Thyme)
1 onion
1 carrot
1 leek
¾ bottle of Chardonnay
1 cup Creme Fraiche
3 - 4 tbsp Dijon Mustard, or to taste

Method

Heat the oil in a wok or large pan, and brown the rabbit.

Peel and chop the vegetables

They will be blended so does not matter what size you cut them

Add these vegetables into the wok once the rabbit is browned.

Stir for a few minutes till the vegetables start to cook.

Add some salt, the Boquet Garni and the wine.

Bring to the boil, cover the pot and let it simmer for about 1½ hours or until the rabbit literally comes off the bone easily. Check after about an hour that you do not have to add more liquid.

Remove the rabbit pieces and put on a plate.

Discard the boquet Garni, and put the liquid and vegetables into a processor or blender. Process till you have a liquid which will become the sauce.

Add the creme fraiche and bring to the boil.

Cook to the desired consistency for a few minutes - mine was slightly thick so next time I would cook it less.

Add the mustard, tasting as you go so you get the correct taste.

Put the rabbit pieces back in the pot to warm.

Serve with potatoes or noodles, though I made some potato and bacon cakes and served the rabbit with this.
