A delicious, and nutritious, meal that takes only a quarter of an hour to prepare.
Ingredients
- 2 whole rabbits
- 0.5 can chestnuts
- 1 shallot
- 1 cloves garlic (crushed)
- ½ red onion chopped
- 1 cup mushrooms (chopped)
- 80 ml red wine vinegar
- 50 g tarragon (chopped)
- 50 g thyme (chopped)
- 1 cabbage
- 1 tblsp wholegrain mustard
- 250 ml cream
- salt and pepper
Method
- For the rabbit:
- Bone the rabbit (remove the legs and clean the loins. Though, your butcher should be happy to do this for you).
- Season the legs and seal them in a frying pan. Sprinkle with thyme and cook in the oven for 8/9 minutes.
- Seal the rabbit loin on a hot pan, cook for 3/4 minutes. Remove from the heat and leave to rest.
- For the mushroom & chestnut dressing: In a small pan, fry off some diced shallots, red onion and garlic until soft. Add 1 can of chestnuts (or fresh if available). Add the mushrooms and cook for 2 minutes. Deglaze with red wine vinegar. Just before serving, add the chopped tarragon.
- For the cabbage: Cut into 4 quarters. Blanch in boiling water for 4 minutes. Reduce the mustard and cream in a pot over a heat until a thick consistency is achieved. Drizzle over the cabbage.
