• 6 rabbit loins
• 10 caperberries
• Salt, pepper
• Olive oil
• Butcher's twine
• 1 pomegranate for serving
For the grilled vegetables with parsley pesto:

• 1 bunch of spring onions
• 1 red bell pepper

For the pesto:
• 200 g flat-leaf parsley
• 400 g olive oil
• 100 g blanched almonds
• 4 cloves of garlic
• Salt
For the Parmesan cake:
• 200 g flour
• 2 eggs
• 1 sachet baking powder
• 50 g sugar
• 5 g salt
• 2 sprigs rosemary
• 200 g milk
• 100 g sparkling water
• 100 g Parmesan cheese
Preparation
➊ Cut off the belly flaps from the rabbit loins and freeze for approx. 1 hour. Bone out the rabbit loins and cut lengthwise into a roulade.
➋ Finely chop the caperberries. Finely chop or mince the frozen belly flaps. Mix with the caperberries. Spread the mixture on the rabbit roulades. Roll each into a roulade, season with salt and pepper, tie with butcher's twine, and sear briefly on all sides on the plancha. Then grill indirectly until a core temperature of 58 °C is reached. Tip: If there is any filling left over, simply grill extra patties.
➌ For the pesto, lightly brown the almonds in olive oil in a pan and let cool. Chop the parsley finely and puree with the remaining ingredients in a food processor or with an immersion blender.
➍ Slice the eggplant and salt lightly. Cut off the stem of the celery. Slice the zucchini lengthwise. Core and peel the bell pepper and cut into four equal pieces.
Heat a fire or grill plate to approx. 200 °C. Sear the vegetables sharply on both sides with olive oil on the direct heat, then move to the indirect side and add the pesto.
➎ Slice the filled rabbit roulades, arrange with grilled vegetables and pomegranate seeds. Tip: Fry the celery leaves directly the whole time, so they are fried.
➏ For the Parmesan cake, grate the Parmesan coarsely and finely chop the rosemary. Mix all ingredients together and fry golden brown on both sides on the plancha in a little rapeseed oil.
