Ingredients:

240g lentils
1 onion, chopped
1 onion, peeled and quartered
450ml lamb or chicken stock
2 rashers of bacon, chopped
1 bouquet garni
1 rabbit, jointed
salt and black pepper
seasoned flour, for dusting
pinch of mustard
bacon fat or oil to fry
chopped parsley, for garnish

Method:

Place the lentils in a bowl of water and allow to soak over night. The following day drain the lentils then place in a pan along with the quartered onion, the bacon and enough water to cover liberally. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer, cover and cook for about 90 minutes or until the lentils are tender. Allow to cool then transfer to a food processor or liquidizer and purée.

Meanwhile dust the rabbit joints with the seasoned flour. Melt the fat in a pan and use to fry the rabbit until all the pieces have browned. Place the meat in a casserole dish and use the remaining fat to fry the chopped onion until soft. Add the stock and bouquet garni to the pan, bring to a boil then pour over the rabbit.

Cover the casserole and place in an oven pre-heated to 160°C (320°F/Gas Mark 3). Bake for about 90 minutes or until the rabbit is tender then pour off the liquid and mix into the lentil purée. Return this mixture to the casserole pan, return to the oven and bake for a further 20 minutes, or until the mixture has heated through.

Serve garnished with parsley.
