Get ready for a restaurant-quality Sunday lunch: you'll sear a whole rabbit with mustard, then roast it slowly with vegetables and cream until incredibly tender. The roasting dish becomes a silky sauce through blending—just remember to turn the rabbit halfway through and add cream in the final 20 minutes for the best results.
