  1. This was our First time at trying rabbit and with this recipe we'll definatly be coming back!!! I will cut the cheese in half next time but only because the kids found it a little rich if im making it just for adults i'll keep it as is XXX
     
  2. This was such a fantastic dish. My family loved it. They had no idea that rabbit could taste so good. Thank you.
     
  3. What a SUPERB rabbit recipe! I cook rabbit quite often, it is very popular in France, and I always use mustard, but the addition of the Stilton was a bold and excellent move - and IT WORKED! Tangy, creamy, cheesy and mustardy rabbit - delicious! We ate this with steamed greens and new potatoes - VERY much enjoyed by both of us - thanks for posting this recipe - it will be made MANY times again! FT:-)
