Ingredients :

A 1.250-kg rabbit

100 grammes of strong mustard

6 teaspoons of Porto

6 sprigs of thyme

6 sprigs of rosemary

6 bay leaves

salt, pepper

Recipe :

• Cut the rabbit into 6 pieces. Do disarticulate it cautiously to avoid any sharp splinter.
• Prepare 6 squares of parchment paper in which to wrap each piece of rabbit.
• Place a bay leaf, a pinch of salt and a twist of pepper on each square.
• Generously brush the rabbit portions with mustard. Place them on bay leaves.
• Roll up the edges of each square of parchment paper to form some kind of wrap.
• Drizzle each piece of rabbit with a spoonful of port, then add a pinch of salt and pepper.
• Finish up your recipe with a sprig of thyme and another of rosemary.
• Close the papillotes tightly. Bake in a medium oven at 180° C (thermostat 5) for 45 minutes.
