Add more stock or water if the purée is too thick. Return the spinach to the pan and re-heat gently. 8. Put the rabbit pan back on the heat. Add the verjus and stir to collect the cooking juices from the rabbit. Tip the carrot and celery back into the pan. Stir in the butter. Slice the kidneys in half and add to the pan. 9. Slice the rabbit into six pieces. Place three rounds on each plate with a spoon of the spinach purée. 10. Scatter over the carrot, celery and kidneys and finish with a drizzle of the pan juices.
