Step by step recipe

Stage 1 - ⌛ 15 min.

Bone the rabbit completely. Put the pieces of meat on one side, the bones on the other - but do not throw these way.

Stage 2 - ⌛ 5 min.

Salt and pepper the pieces of rabbit on each side, then coat liberally with French mustard (milder than the fiery English kind) using a brush. Finish with a sprinkling of thyme.

Preheat the oven to 160°C (330°F).

Stage 3 - ⌛ 10 min.

Pour 4 tablespoons olive oil into a large pan on high heat. When this is hot, add the pieces of rabbit.

Brown lightly on each side. Do this in batches if necessary.

Stage 4 - ⌛ 40 min.

Put the pieces of rabbit in an oven-proof dish covered with cooking film, and put in the oven for about 40 minutes.

Stage 5 - ⌛ 5 min.

Meanwhile, break the rabbit bones up roughly with a cleaver or heavy knife.

Stage 6 - ⌛ 5 min.

Put these into the same pan as you used for the meat and brown them, turning from time to time.

When they are nicely browned, pour in 4 glasses dry white wine, salt and pepper, deglaze, stir well and leave to reduce by half on low heat.

Stage 7 - ⌛ 3 min.

When the stock is well reduced, filter, discard the bones and keep the sauce hot.

Stage 8 - ⌛ 15 min.

Cook 500 g broad beans in salted boiling water until they are tender, then plunge them into very cold water and drain.

Set aside.

Stage 9 - ⌛ 10 min.

Peel 300 g mushrooms and cut into small pieces.

Prepare 1 shallot and chop them.

Stage 10 - ⌛ 4 min.

Pour 2 tablespoons olive oil into a large pan and when hot, add the shallot and cook for 1 minute.

Add the mushrooms and fry for 2 or 3 minutes. Stop as soon as they begin to give off liquid.

Stage 11 - ⌛ 2 min.

Drain and set aside.

Stage 12 - ⌛ 7 min.

Pour 2 tablespoons olive oil into the same pan and when hot, add 200 g small pieces of bacon cut in small pieces.

Cook until they are well fried.

Stage 13 - ⌛ 3 min.

Tip the broad beans and mushrooms into the pan, stir and reheat.

Stage 14 - ⌛ 5 min.

Serve the rabbit pieces beside the bean mixture and pour the sauce over.

Remarks

You can also thicken the sauce with a teaspoonful of cornflour, reheated gently while stirring constantly.

And to drink?

A red Burgundy such as a Santenay.

Keeping: Several days in the fridge.

Five hours poultry

Perhaps simplest recipe on this site, but what a result! The idea is to cook the bird, without fat, at low temperature, covered, and for a long time. In this way, the poultry cooks so as to be almost like a "confit": soft and very tasty. The effect is more spectacular with duck because it is a rather firm meat, tough even, but with this method it can be cut with a fork like a confit. This recipe is applicable to big poultry too, it's also a response to questions like "How to cook a turkey?" or...
