Recipe notes

You don’t have to be an expert chef to create this elegant wild garlic rabbit crumble dish. Wrapping the loins in pancetta not only adds to the taste, but it also keeps the meat moist as it is quickly seared, then sliced. Served on a bed of sautéed leek – only use the white part to avoid any bitterness – and sprinkled with a tasty crumble of breadcrumbs flavoured with lemon thyme and wild garlic, it’s sure to impress. This recipe is so quick and easy to make, it’s ideal as an after-work meal for the friends and family. If there’s just two of you, simply halve the ingredients.
