Rabbit with prunes and almonds

Farmers’ markets sell wild rabbits, which goes some way to make up for their absence from many city butchers and supermarkets. The best rabbits are those that are imported from France — they are large, well-flavoured and succulent, and if you can carry back a rabbit or two from a French supermarket (where they are beautifully jointed and packed), do so. If you have wild rabbit, you will need two to feed four people.
