method
1. Put the beef, rabbit, salt and pepper into a very large saucepan and just cover with water. Bring to the boil, skimming off any scum that rises to the surface. Reduce the heat to low, cover and simmer for 2 to 2 1/2 hours, or until the meats are cooked through and tender. Transfer the meats to a chopping board and set aside until they are cool enough to handle.
2. Add all the remaining ingredients except the parsley to the stock in the pan and bring to the boil. Simmer for 30 minutes.
3. Meanwhile, chop the beef into cubes and chop the rabbit meat into bite-sized pieces. Discard the rabbit skin and bones. Stir the meats into the vegetables and simmer for a further 15 minutes, or until they are heated through. Stir in the parsley and adjust the seasoning to your taste. Serve at once, in large bowls.
