Separate rabbit pieces into two groups: legs & shoulders, and rack & saddle.

Season all pieces with half the salt and pepper, then rub in half the mustard and toss with flour.

Heat oil in a heavy casserole pan over medium heat, add half the butter. When golden, brown the legs & shoulders, turning occasionally. Remove and place in a bowl.

Repeat with the remaining rabbit pieces, browning evenly, then strain into a separate bowl.

In the same pan, add carrots and cook 4–5 mins, then add shallots and onion. Cook 4–5 mins until softened.

Add remaining seasoning, thyme, bay leaves, and rosemary; cook 4–5 mins. Add red pepper and chorizo, cook 2–3 mins.

Pour in white wine, reduce by half, then return rabbit pieces to the pan. Add 1 litre stock, cover with parchment and lid, place in oven for 45 mins.

Add rack and saddle pieces, cook another 30 mins, stirring 1–2 times.

Check sauce consistency, reduce if needed. Stir in double cream and chopped parsley.

Serve with basmati rice.
