Add remaining oil to the pan and saut‚ the onion, garlic and pancetta until the onion is starting to soften. Add the leek and mushrooms and saut‚ for a further 2-3 minutes. Stir in the reserved flour and cook for 1 minute stirring continuously.
Add the stock, sugar and vinegar to the pan with the herbs and mustard.
Bring to the boil, stirring continuously. Transfer to a casserole dish, add the rabbit.
Place in a preheated oven 170øC, 325øF, gas mark 3, for 35-40 minutes or until the rabbit is just tender. Top with the bread and place under a preheated grill until golden brown. Serve immediately with green vegetables.

NOTES : This rabbit stew makes a delicious and warming supper. Rabbit loin cutlets could be substituted for the loin fillets - simply increase the cooking time by about 10-15 minutes. Rabbit is delicate and can easily overcook, so use an earthenware dish rather than a cast iron one, which can conduct the heat too well!
