Rabbit à la moutarde
salt and black pepper
6 rabbit legs
100g butter
100ml white wine vinegar
3 tbsp dijon mustard
500ml chicken stock
150ml double cream
1 tbsp dried oregano
1 tsp smoked paprika
1 tsp chopped rosemary
6 garlic cloves, crushed
2 bay leaves.
1. Season the rabbit legs. Melt the butter in a heavy-based casserole pan and sear the rabbit legs. Remove from the pan and drain
2. Swill the casserole with the vinegar and boil to reduce by two-thirds. Add all the remaining ingredients and bring to the boil. When boiling, add the rabbit back to the casserole , cover and cook gently until the meat falls freely off the bone.
3. Take out the rabbit and set aside. Boil the cooking liquor to reduce it to a sauce-like consistency (it will coat the back of a spoon)
4. Adjust the seasoning and return the rabbit to the pot to warm through.

Carefully place the braised Rabbit leg on top of sautéed potatoes and serve with a little mustard sauce
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
