Dry the rabbit over with a paper towel and then toss the rabbit in a mixture of flour and dry mustard. Heat the oil in a fry pan and well brown the rabbit pieces all over. Put in a casserole dish.
Add butter into the pan and fry the onion until clear or soft. Stir in remaining flour and mustard mixture and cook for a minute or so. Gradually add the cider and stock and bring to the boil. Season well and add vinegar, sugar and Dijon mustard and then pour the mixture over the rabbit.
Cover the casserole dish and cook in a moderate, pre-heated oven at 180 deg C/ 360 deg F for around about an hour.
While the casserole is cooking fry the breadcrumbs in a mixture of oil and butter until golden brown, stirring frequently, and then mix with the chives and parsley
Remove the casserole lid, adjust seasonings and sprinkle with the crumb mixture.
Serve immediately

This is a great recipe! Our small game season is open now, and I had a couple of friends over today to watch the football games on TV. For dinner, I served up this recipe, and all of them swore they were eating the best baked chicken dish they ever had. None of them had ever eaten game before. I now have 5 converts.
Now I have two "fresh" bunnies in the freezer and should give this recipe a re-try.
We are over run with rabbits at the moment, but Siegfried is doing his best to remove them when I'm not watching. And the little bugger hides and buries them hoping he is not seen as otherwise I might try to feed them to him later that night. He is fussy and only likes rabbits on rare occasions. Loves to kill them anytime though, even though he is a pointer and not supposed to chase.
