Ingredients

1 1/2 kg rabbit
4 tbs French mustard mild
1 tsp salt
1 pinch ground black pepper fresh
6 bacon rashers
1/2 cup cream
1 tbs plain flour
2 tbs cream

Method

Step 1

Spread 2 tablespoons of the mustard in the cavity of the rabbit. Sprinkle outside with pepper and salt.
Step 2

Cover the rabbit with bacon slices and spread the bacon with the remaining mustard.
Step 3

Place the rabbit in a heavy casserole dish just large enough to hold it. Cover and cook at 180C for 1-1 ½ hours or until tender. Transfer to a heated platter.
Step 4

Add ½ cup cream to the pan juices and bring to a simmer. Combine flour with 2 tablespoons cream. Stir in the flour-cream mixture with a wire whisk and cook stirring, 2-3 minutes. Cover rabbit with a little of the sauce and pass the rest separately.
