It is a sophisticated way to enjoy game, offering a mild yet distinctive flavour that is perfectly complemented by the aromatic herbs.

Ideal for a nutritious weekend dinner, this recipe brings a gourmet touch to homemade cooking without requiring complex techniques.

Ingredients for Panko- and Mustard-Crusted Rabbit

  • 110g unsalted butter, melted

  • 230g Dijon mustard

  • 300g panko (Japanese bread crumbs)

  • 1/4 cup fresh thyme leaves, chopped

  • 2 (2 1/2 to 3-pound) fryer rabbits, cut into 8 serving pieces, rinsed, and patted dry

  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt

  • 1/2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper

  • 60ml extra-virgin olive oil

How to make Panko- and Mustard-Crusted Rabbit

Preheat oven to 260°C. In medium bowl, whisk together butter and mustard. In large bowl, toss together panko and thyme.

Season rabbit pieces with salt and pepper. Using pastry brush, brush 1 piece generously with mustard mixture, then dip in panko mixture and toss to coat. Transfer to large rimmed baking sheet. Repeat with remaining pieces, using 2 baking sheets. Drizzle pieces with olive oil.

Bake 15 minutes, then reduce heat to 177°C. Bake until crust is golden and juices run clear when meat is pricked with fork, about 10 minutes more.
