- Put the rabbit thighs on 4 plates, add some stew sauce and sprinkle with the parsley.
- Boil the polenta according to the instructions on the package and serve with the rabbit bolts. Do not forget to season the polenta with a handful of Parmesan cheese and a generous dollop of butter or a dash of olive oil.
