Rabbit Casserole with Shallots and Walnuts
We rear our own rabbits, generous friends have a walnut tree and other friends from Brittany arrived, last autumn, with gifts that included a string of shallots.

If you hesitate to eat rabbit or game, substitute with chicken and possibly a few small mushrooms.
