  • 2 shallots

  • 12 sage leaves
  • Salt, pepper

The recipe :

Finely chop the rabbit kidneys, the peeled shallots and the bacon – rind removed. Season with pepper. Lay out the saddles, season with salt and pepper, cover with sage leaves. Add a layer of chopped ingredients along the centre of the saddle, roll the edges inwards, tie tightly together into small packages. Roast for 30 minutes in the oven; turn the meat over after 15 minutes. Leave to cool in the oven after turning it off. Slice, serve with candied red berries in vinegar.
