How To Make parisian dill dijon (whole) rabbit

• Step 1
  I prefer the rabbit spatchcocked, but simply flattening is sufficient.
• Step 2
  The rabbit will be damp to the touch. Powder coat the rabbit in plain or seasoned flour.
• Step 3
  Then massage the mustard onto the rabbit. When well-coated, completely cover with dill. Then set aside in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
• Step 4
  While you are waiting, dice your root veggies. Some might be too hard to get a knife through, so you may want to parboil a bit.
• Step 5
  In a mixing bowl, add all the root vegetable liquids. Whisk by hand or electric mixer until the oil emulsifies.
• Step 6
  Add the diced root vegetables. Toss and completely coat.
• Step 7
  Pour vegetables and any extra liquid into a greased rectangular pan. You may use a lidded casserole dish or tin foil, but this will need to be covered during baking.
• Step 8
  Place your rabbit atop the vegetables.
• Step 9
  Crack the black pepper and salt, over the entire dish. Places cubes of butter discriminatively in the pan.
• Step 10
  Cover and bake at 350F for 45 minutes. Check that the vegetables are soft or to desired texture.
• Step 11
  Remove foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes as to crisp the rabbits herb coat.
• Step 12
  Transfer to a serving dish; allow to rest covered for 10 minutes.
• Step 13
  You can make a gravy for the rabbit with any liquid left in the pan after you previously transferred the root vegetables with a slotted spoon.
• Step 14
  Just make a rue with butter and flour, and gradually add liquid while continuously whisking. Salt and paprika as needed.
