Ingredients:

1 whole rabbit, prepared
1 pig's trotter
salt, freshly-ground black pepper and cayenne pepper, to taste

Method:

Wash the rabbit and pig's trotter well. Joint the rabbit then combine in a large pan with the pig's trotter. Pour over enough water to cover then bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer, cover and cook gently for about 2 hours, or until the meat is falling from the bones.

Remove the pieces of rabbit and the pig trotter from the pan. Strip the meat from the bones then return this to the pan.

Season the mixture to taste then bring to a boil. Continue to boil for 10 minutes then take off the heat and turn into ramekins or a loaf tin lined with clingfilm (plastic wrap). Allow to cool and jellify before using.

It is best made the day before and should be sliced and served with salad and crusty Breads.
