Preparation
- Step 1
Sprinkle the rabbit pieces with salt and pepper.
- Step 2
Prepare the onions, mushrooms and garlic and set aside. Tie the parsley, thyme sprigs and bay leaf into a bundle and set aside.
- Step 3
Heat the oil and butter in a heavy casserole and add the rabbit pieces. Cook until golden brown on one side, about four or five minutes, and turn the pieces. Cook about two minutes on the second side and pour off the fat.
- Step 4
Add the mushrooms, onions and garlic, and stir. Sprinkle with flour and stir to coat the ingredients evenly.
- Step 5
Add the wine, chicken broth and tomato paste, and stir. Add the herb bundle. Bring to the boil. Cover closely and let simmer one hour.
- Step 6
Scoop out about one cup of the sauce and stir the mustard into it. Return this mixture to the casserole and stir. Bring the mixture barely to the simmer. Remove the herb bundle and serve.

This is delicious and totally old school. Just passed it on to my daughter who has a friend raising rabbits in Texas. I first cooked this in the early seventies.
