Rabbit Sauce Piquante is one of my favorite dishes

Slow roasted, tomato base, spice to taste, serve over white rice

They say 2 hours in that particular recipe, but the longer you roast it, the more tender it will be, and rabbit can be pretty tough.

Many recipes exist, your mileage may vary.

I've only cooked rabbit twice so far, but the time it turned out nummy was basically, season lightly (I like pepper and a dusting if italian mix), wrap in bacon, bake. I put a little moisture in the bottom of the pan just to help keep it moist. I liked pairing it with potato, personally

Lapin à la moutard is how god prepares his rabbit when he's in the mood.

It's pretty simple. You joint it, rub mustard into it, brown it. Then fry off some garlic, onions and maybe carrots. Put the rabbit in there. Throw in some white wine, along with a bit of thyme, and let it simmer for an hour or two. Keep an eye on it to make sure it doesn't dry out though. Once it's done, add a bit of crème fraiche to make a sauce and serve with some kind of potatoes. Or whatever.

Here's an English-language recipe.

So I made lapin à la moutard and holy shit is this stuff good.

But, let it be known, butchering a rabbit is nothing like butchering a chicken.

These fuckers front limbs? They don't attach to the body!
