1. Bone 2 wild rabbits.

Place the bones in the oven at 150° until golden (1 hour). When they are done plunge the bones in water and cook for 2 hours. Reduce this broth by half.

 

2. Meanwhile prepare a mix of one cup of Dijon mustard (strong), half a cup of canola oil and a pinch of salt and pepper and a little fresh thyme (optional), mix well and marinate the rabbit pieces in the mixture for two hours.

 

3. Wrap the rabbit pieces in caul fat (lace fat) into small 100gr parcels.

Lightly fry 150gr of golden shallots (French eschalots) in a little pork fat.

Place the rabbit parcels on top of the lightly fried shallots in an oven dish and add 1/2 glass of good white wine (Sauvignon Blanc) and 1 glass of the reduced broth (stock made from the bones).




4. Cook for 1 hour in a hot oven (220°) turning and basting the rabbit parcels every 10 minutes. Add a little more broth if necessary.
