Cwningen & Chorbys (Rabbit With Lentils)

"The original version of this recipe was found at Traditional Welsh Recipes. Chicken thighs & drumsticks are a good substitute for rabbit. Rabbit tastes very much like the dark pieces of a chicken. Preparation time is an estimate not including the overnight soak of the lentils. Cooking time reflects the 1 hour of cooking for the lentils and the 1hour baking of the meat.
