Ingredients

Step cooking

1. First, wash the rabbit carcass and dry it with a paper towel. It is better to take a larger rabbit, then it will be more fleshy. Like all meat, the rabbit must be at room temperature before cooking. Cut it into large pieces, freeing from excess films.
   
2. Next, we will deal with vegetables. Cut half the leek into thin half rings. You can use ordinary onions, but leeks are more tender, well suited for this dish.
   
3. Then prepare a bouquet of garni. This is a classic French herbs set to give a rich flavor to a dish. In one leaf of leek we put 2 bay leaves, on top 2 sprigs of rosemary and 2 sprigs of thyme.
   
4. Wrap and tie a thick thread. If you do not have fresh herbs, but you really want to cook this dish, just add dry ones.
   
5. Crush 4-5 cloves of garlic with the flat side of a knife and peel, no need to cut.
   
6. In a deep cast-iron bowl or pan with a thick bottom, we warm well 15 - 20 ml of olive oil and 20 g of butter.
   
7. We lay the pieces of the rabbit in one layer and fry over high heat until a golden crust is formed on both sides.
   
8. In the process of frying, we salt meat to taste.
   
9. When the meat is browned, add the leek and garlic cloves, mix and fry for 2 to 3 minutes.
   
10. Then pepper to taste, pour 200 ml of dry white wine, bring to a boil over high heat so that the alcohol evaporates.
    
11. Pour 250 ml of vegetable or chicken broth, 200 g of cream. The fatter the cream, the tastier the meat and sauce.
    
12. Add 2 - 3 tbsp. l mustard of two types - with and without grains, but one species can be dispensed with.
    
13. We mix everything so that all the ingredients combine, put the garnish bouquet in the center of the pan, close the lid and simmer for 2 hours over low heat.
    
14. The meat should become very soft and tender, and the sauce should boil a little and thicken.
    
15. The finished dish goes well with any side dish, but it is best served with mashed potatoes, abundantly watered with creamy mustard sauce and sprinkled with fresh thyme leaves. Enjoy your meal!
