Method

Preparation of Rabbit

  1. 1

    Sear the Rabbit

    In a large skillet, heat a tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the rabbit pieces and sear them for about 5-7 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove the rabbit and set aside.

  2. 2

    Sauté Shallots and Garlic

    In the same skillet, add the chopped shallots and minced garlic. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened and fragrant.

  3. 3

    Add Wine and Mustards

    Pour in the white wine, scraping the bottom of the skillet to deglaze. Stir in the Dijon and stoneground mustards and cook for an additional 2 minutes.

  4. 4

    Return Rabbit to Skillet

    Return the browned rabbit pieces to the skillet, ensuring they are coated with the mustard mixture. Cover and simmer on low heat for 30-40 minutes until the rabbit is tender.

  5. 5

    Finish with Cream and Rosemary

    Once the rabbit is cooked, stir in the heavy cream and chopped rosemary. Simmer for an additional 5 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.

Preparation of Potatoes

  1. 6

    Roast the Potatoes

    Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). In a bowl, toss the halved fingerling potatoes with olive oil, salt, and black pepper.

  2. 7

    Bake the Potatoes

    Spread the potatoes on a baking tray and roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes until golden and crispy, turning halfway through.

Serving

  1. 8

    Plate the Dish

    Serve the rabbit in a bowl with a generous amount of the creamy mustard sauce, alongside the roasted fingerling potatoes.
