Rabbit food!

I have been struggling for a while now to get a recipe to cook rabbit, which looks and tastes good. One recipe tasted great (lots of red wine and slow cooking), but looked unappetising - mainly a dull grey colour! The other recipe - loosely based on something someone had eaten in Spain - was incredibly tough (a quick cook recipe) and the rabbit tasted extremely gamey! A friend - Charlotte - who is french, suggested the following, which she has cooked a number of times and tells me tastes and looks delicious...

"One of my favorite dishes in the world is lapin a la moutarde it is yummy. Basically a chopped rabbit cooked in a stew dish with 1 cup water, once cooked slowly for 1-2 hours add a 50/50 mixture of French mustard and crème fraiche about 250ml of each and mushrooms (thinly sliced). You can have it with rice it is yummy the rabbit flakes off (can do same dish with chicken).We had it a few weeks ago with irish wild rabbit (cavistons I think) it did not taste too gamey."

So, there you go - I'll be trying it out one of the days, but in the meantime, if you want to try it, take a photo of the end result and send it to me with your verdict!





This is what it is supposed to look like...
