Steps

  • Sauté shallots, carrots, and celery until onions are translucent.
  • Stir in stock, cider, bay leaf, rosemary, and mustard.
  • Simmer the rabbit in the liquid for 45 to 60 minutes until tender.
  • Transfer rabbit to a pie dish and thicken the stock with the butter and flour mixture.
  • Preheat your oven to 220°C.
