Recipe without any frills
Cut the rabbit into legs, neck, belly flap, and 2-3 back pieces. If you like, you can also fry the head. Season all pieces with salt and pepper and brush with mustard. Heat the fat in a roasting pan and fry the pieces until well browned. Don’t let it blacken, or the mustard will taste bitter! Roughly chop the onion and add it to the frying a little later, but just enough to allow it to brown. Deglaze with a little water and add the bay leaf and juniper berries. Cover and simmer gently for about 1-1.5 hours. Check the liquid occasionally and add more water. Tips: If the sauce isn’t strong enough for you, you can simmer everything, brown it again, and then add a little more water. If necessary, thicken the sauce a little with flour or cornstarch dissolved in water. We serve it with red cabbage and dumplings.
