Instructions
Step 1
Preheat the broiler. Smear the rabbit pieces all over with mustard and place them on a rack resting on the edges of a shallow baking pan. Season the top surfaces of the rabbit with salt and pepper and drizzle with half of the olive oil.
Step 2
Transfer the pan to the broiler and cook until the meat is beginning to brown, 20–25 minutes. Turn the pieces over, season the other sides, add the remaining olive oil, and cook until the thighs are tender when pierced with a fork, about 20 minutes. Serve hot or at room temperature.
