One of my sisters recipes-she makes this with free range chicken if rabbit is hard to get.
Ingredients:
1 7/8 kg rabbit
all-purpose flour, seasoned for dusting
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon butter
100 g bacon, finely chopped
4 shallots, finely chopped
150 ml white wine
1/2 cup chicken stock
1/3 cup dijon mustard
2 bay leaves
3 sprigs thyme
300 ml pouring cream
150 g pitted prunes
Directions:
1. Cut rabbit into serving pieces, or have your butcher do this for you.
2. Dust rabbit pieces with seasoned flour, shaking off excess.
3. Heat the oil in a heavy-based flame proof casserole over medium heat.
4. Add rabbit in batches and brown all over.
5. Remove rabbit then add butter, bacon and shallots and cook for 6-8 minutes or until soft.
6. Add white wine and cook until nearly evaporated.
7. Add stock, mustard, bay-leaves, thyme and cream, season lightly, mix well.
8. Add rabbit and stir to coat.
9. Bring to the boil, cover and cook in 170c oven for 1 hour.
10. Add prunes to casserole and cook for a further 30-45 minutes or until rabbit is tender.
