Rabbit in Mustard Caper Cream Sauce

This is a divine dish and it's all because of the wonderful flavor bestowed by the grainy mustard. Serve a fresh green salad with a light vinaigrette along with the rabbit and cream sauce spooned over biscuits, pasta, or rice.

  • Melt the butter in a large skillet. Dredge the pieces of meat in seasoned flour and brown in the skillet until golden brown on all sides. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

  • Add the onion to the skillet and sauté for about 5 to 7 minutes, until wilted. Add the wine and bring to a boil. Add the browned pieces of meat and lower the heat to a simmer. Cover and cook for 30 minutes. Remove the lid and cook for another 30 minutes, continuing at a simmer.

  • Add the whipping cream, mustard, and capers and simmer for 15 minutes. Taste and adjust seasonings.
