Ingredients

1 large rabbit (3-4 lbs.), cut into serving pieces

1⁄2 cup dijon mustard

Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Smear rabbit pieces with mustard and season with salt and pepper.

Heat 2 tbsp. of the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear rabbit pieces, turning frequently, until rabbit is very crisp, about 15 minutes. Transfer to a platter.

Reduce heat to medium and melt remaining 2 tbsp. butter in skillet. Add onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, 8-10 minutes.

Add wine to skillet and scrape up any browned bits. Return rabbit pieces to the skillet, along with bouquet garni. Cover and cook until rabbit is tender, about 35 minutes.
