WARNING: some people may find the next section disturbing. No blood as the rabbit is already cleaned, but these are pictures of me jointing the rabbit.
I found a really nice video on how to joint a rabbit on Jamie Oliver's website.
First I took the legs off. The front legs are really easy to take off and you can see them in the top middle of the next picture.
The back legs are a little harder to get through because there is a bone in the way but with a little worrying you can get around it without having to cut through the bone.
After the legs come off it was time to separate the back into nice sized sections. This required me to cut through bone and as was described in the video I used a large weight. My rolling pin is marble and I didn't want to smash a marble rolling pin into a metal knife so I used an old exercise weight.
Here you can see the belly flap meet as well. On the left side is the four back sections that look delicious. The stuff at the back right is actually the neck and tail parts which have a lot of bone and are hard to cook. We are gonna use them to make a stock. Nothing like rabbit noodle soup ;)
