Rabbit menu

Coq au vin, boeuf bourguignon, bouillabaisse…you name them! These are all French dishes well known all over the
world…And obviously…le lapin aux pruneaux (dried prunes rabbit) or le lapin a la moutarde (mustard rabbit) that
are so famous in France and mostly appreciated on Sundays with the whole family with a glass of wine or with a
glass of cidre bouche (cider mouth) like in Normandy, where I come from! These two dishes will make any French mouth watering and to truly enjoy them, you must have a French baguette
on the table to be able to saucer, in other words to dip your crunchy piece of bread into the sauce left after finishing
your plate and licking your fingers! Oups! Not politically correct but hey! so good!
I live in Cape Town for more than 11 years and what a relief to know that I can now also enjoy rabbit in my plate,
here in Africa, since I have found Coniglio! And in so many different ways… rabbit pattie on vegetable rostis,
bangers on braai with beautiful marinades, rabbit kebabs with a coconut sauce…

Is there a better way than picking up food from Nature and cook it immediately?! Let’s arrange a date and time a bit
in advance to collect mussels together and prepare them in two different ways.
