Rabbit Cutlet (Cotelette de Lapin) a la Douaniere

Ingredients

• Select a young rabbit
• part of the fillet of the saddle, about one pound
• carrots
• onions
• pepper
• salt
• bay leaves
• some sherry
• butter

Method

1. 1

   Clean and wash the rabbit well, cut part of the fillet of the saddle for the mousse; the rest of the meat put on the stove to boil with carrots, onions, pepper, salt, and bay leaves, until well done; leave in the juice until cold; remove bones.

2. 2

   Then arrange on a buttered pan in pieces in the shape of a half egg; stuff each piece with the mousse of rabbit, decorate with strips of chopped truffles across, and cook from eight to ten minutes in the oven — well covered.

3. 3

   The rest of the mousse make into quenelles; take a small teaspoon of the mousse, put it in the juice that the rabbits cooked in, let simmer for about eight minutes until well done, then skim up and leave on a plate; make a rich mushroom sauce; when ready add mushrooms and quenelles to the sauce; flavor strongly with sherry.

4. 4

   Arrange the pieces of rabbits on a foundation of hominy that has been decorated with Spanish pepper and truffles.

5. 5

   Serve the sauce, quenelles, and mushrooms in the centre.
