See if you can get yourself some duck fat. If you cant, then goose fat or even olive oil will do. But get duck...
Heat duck fat with a bulb of garlic chopped in half, sprigs of (fresh) rosemary, thyme, bay leaves and sage, black peppercorns.
Brown rabbit portions in a frypan with a little of the fat. add to the warm pot with duck fat to cover. Cover with a lid and place into a warm oven (100degC/215degF) for about 3 hours until rabbit is so tender it will fall apart when lifted. Drain on paper towels.
Sautee some wild mushrooms in some butter with more garlic. Once cooked, add some fresh chopped parsley, seasonings and add the flaked rabbit meat. Stir in a teaspoon or so of blackberry jelly (not jam) and serve with fresh homemade pasta, steamed asparagus and shavings of Parmesan cheese.
If you have a jus made from any bones, spoon a little over all the dish to pool in the bottom of the plate as a nice sauce for the pasta.
This is one of my favourite ways of eating rabbit.
