Steps

  • Sauté garlic, onion, leek, celery, and carrot in oil for 2 minutes.
  • Add carcasses and chicken stock to the pan.
  • Secure rabbit legs and shoulders in muslin and simmer in the stock for 3.5 hours.
  • Mince the raw rabbit loins with the cooked leg meat.
  • Sauté garlic and shallots for the burgers, then mix with 200g mince and bone marrow to form four patties.
  • Blanch thick-cut chips in simmering water for 14 minutes, then cool and roughen edges.
  • Fry chips at 130°C for 12 minutes until pale, then drain and cool.
  • Sauté aromatics for faggots, mince the offal, and combine with the remaining rabbit mince.
  • Shape faggots into 50g balls, brown in a pan, and braise with stock in a 160°C oven for 2 hours under parchment.
  • Pick meat from a cooked leg, mix with stock and dissolved gelatine, and set in a fridge for 2 hours.
  • Press picked shoulder meat into a mould and chill for 2 hours.
  • Bread the shoulders in flour, egg, and breadcrumbs, then deep fry at 180°C until golden.
  • Wrap rabbit loins with sage and Parma ham, then pan-fry for 4 minutes per side.
  • Coat anchovies in milk and flour, then deep fry until crispy.
  • Sauté chicory, stir in double cream and parsley, and keep warm.
  • Whisk together shredded carrot, salad cream, crème fraîche, and poppy seeds.
  • Deep fry the blanched chips a second time at 180°C until golden-brown.
  • Pan-fry the burgers for 5 minutes per side and toast bread discs.
  • Assemble by layering toast, burger, slaw, and fries, accompanied by loin, faggot, confit, and shoulder.
