The cover of darkness, Hampstead Heath, high powered air rifle, + night sight?  Only problem is you might meet Trojan and his gang, and get to stare down the business end of an MP5  Well, you live and learn, i never knew Trojan was that way inclined my thoughts exactly, makes you wonder if they on about grub when mentioning donuts Might come across george michael too, oo didnt mean that literally.

| Ok. Here you go. Rabbit the way Dries' granny cooks them:
2 good sized rabbits:
Skinned (first time for me, but it wasn't too bad) and washed:
(very badly) butchered (respect for good butchers!!):
Brown of the meat in a healthy serving of butter. I must explain at this stage. Butter is the single most important ingredient in Flemish cooking. I couldn't count the amount of times my granny explained how important it is to have some really good butter in the house
So there's at least half a pack in here:
Take the meat out when it's brown (I had to do this in 2 batches), leave the good browned butter in and add some more before adding onion. There's 4 large onion in here:
When the onion is soft and brown, add the meat back in (except the liver and kidneys, you don't want to stew those, they're fine just fried in the butter before, just set them aside and don't tell anybody so you can have all of it  ). Season with salt and pepper and add some bay leave.
Then fill up with dark beer. I use these:
but you may find it hard to find. Leffe Bruin (the dark one) would work really well too and is easy to get hold of. If you really don't fancy the beer, red wine works too, but I find it flavours the meat too strongly.
Put the lid on and let stew gently for a while. How long will depend on the meat (how old the rabbit is etc) and how you like it, I stewed mine for about 1-1.5 hours after which it was nice and tender but not falling of the bone.
No more further pictures, but there's one important thing left to do. I have never seen this in recipes, so I may be giving a family secret away, but here you go. About 10-15 minutes before you finish off the stew, smear a load of mustard on a large slice of bread (or couple smaller) and put it in the stew. I usually take the crusts off. The mustard will flavour the stew nicely and the bread will thicken the sauce/gravy.
Serve with boiled potato and it goes really well with freshly made applesauce.
Lovely!!! 
Even my 2 year old god daughter couldn't get enough of it
What a lovely meal. It's way cheaper than good organic freerange chicken, and much tastier meat! And for those who care about food miles. This travelled from Essex to SE London on a motorbike, so I have a complete clean conscious
BTW. This same recipe works with beef too (stewing beef), it's called "stoofvlees" or "carbonades flamandes" and they do a quite poor version of this in Belgo.

Looks good.
They have a fair amount of meat on them. 2 rabbits will feed 6 people easily I think. We were 4 adults and there's easily enough left for the 2 of us again tomorrow.
