Ingredients
- 1rabbit, cut up
- 2tablespoons Dijon-type mustard
- 2tablespoons softened butter
- 1tablespoon olive oil
- 1cup dry white wine
- Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
- 1cup fresh heavy cream
- Fresh-chopped parsley to garnish
Preparation
- Step 1
Wipe the rabbit pieces with paper towels and coat with a mixture of the mustard butter and oil. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
- Step 2
Arrange in a greased casserole and pour in the white wine. Cook, covered, for 45 minutes, basting frequently. Season with salt and pepper and remove from casserole.
- Step 3
Pour in the cream and over low heat on top of the stove scrape up the cooking juices. Correct seasonings. Return the rabbit to the pan and coat thoroughly with sauce. Serve in a heated casserole dish, sprinkled with parsley.
- Rice is very good with this rabbit dish. Care must be taken to insure that the rabbit is not allowed to dry out while cooking and that there is always plenty of sauce.

Very good and pretty easy. Added some tarragon. Had no cream. Thinned some yogurt with milk and stirred in slowly, the a flour slurry and stirred in slowly and cooked sauce to cook flour.
It is delicious and easy - have made it with rabbit and chicken both...
What a pleasure for us lazy nonbrowners to find a rabbit recipe that practically cooks itself! Having made it once as written, next time I’ll uncover after about 30’, stir in the cream, and simply let it simmer IN the oven for the remaining 15 /– minutes.
