  • 4 TABLESPOONS Oil
  • 10 fresh sage leaves (alternatively approx. 1/2 tsp. dried)

  • 3/4 l clear broth (instant)
  • 100 g Whipped cream
  • 7-10 Tbsp lemon slices and some sage

Directions

    Heat the oil in a frying pan and fry the rabbit pieces in portions until golden brown all around. Add the shallots and sage leaves and fry briefly. Pour the juice of 1 lemon over the meat.
