Method

Cut 2 fillets from each rabbit. Remove the livers and kidneys, then dice and reserve for the faggots. Cut enough meat from the front legs and belly flaps of the rabbits to make up 600 g when combined with the liver and kidneys, then dice and reserve for the faggots.

To make the faggots, preheat oven to 200°C<
