Ingredients

- 1 rabbit (approximately 1.5-2 kg)
- 1 heart and 1 liver of pork
- 1 kidney and 1 rabbit lung
- 1 pig tongue
- 1 pig heart
- 1 large onion
- 300 g mushrooms
- 1 bell pepper
- Greens (dill and parsley)
- 4 garlic cloves
- 2 green onions
- 1 slice of bread
- Spice mix for roasting
- 2 eggs
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Oil for drizzling
- 200 g white wine
- For the sauce:
- 1 tablespoon horseradish sauce with sour cream
- 1 bunch chopped fresh dill
- Juice of 1 lemon

Step by Step

1. Preparing the ingredients
Start by cleaning and chopping all the ingredients. Wash the rabbit well, remove any visible fat, and dry it with a kitchen towel. The pork organs (heart, liver, kidney, and lung) are boiled in salted water for 20-30 minutes and then allowed to cool.

2. Preparing the filling
In a large bowl, soak the slice of bread in water, squeeze it well, and add it to the blender along with the boiled organs, onion, 2 garlic cloves, sliced bell pepper, and three-quarters of the chopped mushrooms. Blend all the ingredients until you obtain a homogeneous mixture.

3. Adding the greens
Finely chop the green onions, dill, and parsley. Mix them with the composition obtained from the blender, adding the two raw eggs. Adjust salt and pepper to achieve a balanced taste.

4. Stuffing the rabbit
Fill the rabbit with the obtained mixture, being careful not to overstuff it. Sew the rabbit's belly with white cotton thread, ensuring that the filling will not leak during baking.

5. Preparing for baking
Rub the rabbit well with the spice mix for roasting, then place it on a bed of sliced vegetables (onion, carrot, bell pepper) in a baking tray. Add the remaining mushrooms and drizzle with olive oil and white wine. Cover the tray with aluminum foil, puncturing it in a few places with a toothpick to allow steam to escape.

6. Baking
Place the tray in the preheated oven at 160°C and let it bake for 1 hour and 30 minutes. After this interval, remove the aluminum foil, increase the oven temperature to 200°C, and let the rabbit brown for 10 minutes until it becomes golden and crispy.

7. Preparing the sauce
Once the rabbit is ready, remove it from the tray and let it cool on a platter. While it cools, blend the vegetables and juices from the baking tray. Add the horseradish, chopped greens, lemon juice, salt, and pepper to taste. Blend until you obtain a homogeneous sauce.

8. Serving
After the rabbit has cooled, carefully remove the thread and slice it. Serve it alongside the prepared sauce on an elegant platter. You can also add steamed vegetable sides or mashed potatoes for extra flavor.

Practical Tips
- Choosing the rabbit: Buy a fresh rabbit from a trusted supplier. Check that it has firm meat and an even color.
- Spices: You can experiment with different roasting spices, such as rosemary or thyme, for additional flavor.
- Alternative sauces: Instead of horseradish sauce, you can try a mustard sauce or a wine reduction to diversify the dish.
