Ingredients

1 young rabbit           6 oz butter
8 shallots                   2 tablespoons chopped chives
1 glass white wine    1 lemon
Seasoning

Method

Joint the rabbit and rub the joints with seasoning.

Heat the butter in a heavy frying pan.  Brown the rabbit joints, then turn the heat very low and cook gently for about half an hour, turning the joints frequently.  Place the joints on a serving dish and keep hot.

Saute the chopped shallots in the frying pan, adding more butter if necessary, until they are soft but not coloured.  Add the chives and wine.  Simmer for 10 minutes.

Adjust the seasoning and pour over the rabbit joints.  Garnish with lemon slices.
