Method

  1. 1 Marinate the chopped rabbit meat with beer, thyme, and red onion for 2 hours.
  2. 2 Soak the dried plums in the remaining beer for 1 hour to soften them.
  3. 3 Pat the meat dry, then coat it in flour and pan-fry in butter for 8 minutes until seared.
  4. 4 Pour in the marinade and simmer over low heat for 70 minutes; since rabbit meat is lean, simmering it over low heat will prevent it from becoming tough.
  5. 5 Add the dried plums and simmer for the last 20 minutes.
  6. 6 Spread mustard on a slice of bread and drop it into the pot to melt and act as a thickener, then add the wine vinegar when you turn off the heat.
