I don’t usually cook from recipes, but here goes:
Make stock
- Put a strip of bacon and some olive oil in a Dutch oven, and cook on stovetop.
- Cut rabbit into sections and coat liberally in salt and pepper, and brown both sides in the Dutch oven.
- Add carrots, celery, and onion to the pot and cook until softened.
- Add garlic
- Deglaze with red wine
- Add tomatoes, rosemary, thyme, and chicken stock
Cook rabbit
In oven on 500 Fahrenheit (260 Centigrade) for two hours
Make sauce
- Strain solids from stock. Also remove rabbit
- Add more chicken stock, heavy cream, and dry English mustard, and cook on stovetop on medium-high heat (15-30 minutes)
- Pick rabbit meat from bones, add rabbit meat back into sauce, and simmer over low heat (15-30 minutes)
I also added marscapone and cornmeal dumplings.
