Rabbit in Mustard and Thyme Sauce As I Like It!

nitko's Note:

This is simple meal. Do not use wild rabbits, but if you do not have rabbits, chicken or turkey can do. It will not be the same (rabbits have better taste and meat structure), but you will be satisfied.

I really loved this recipe, although I didn't dredge the rabbit pieces. Instead i grilled them on the BBQ then cooked them in the sauce. I really love dijon so I added 1 additional tbsp. Thanks for sharing this.
