We enjoyed back legs of young rabbit in a redwine sauce and ribbon pasta.
Saute some mushrooms for a bit and add 1 cup of red wine. reduce then set aside.
Saute a leek and half a red onion - set aside.
Coat rabbit in a lot of seasoned flour, fry a bit then add lardons or pancetta till browned then slowly stir in the mushrooms and liquid and a splash more wine ( keep stirring).  return leeks to the pan with some crushed garlc, chopped fresh sage and a teaspoon of balsamic vinnegar. Cover and stuff in the oven for 30 mins check sauce and add the odd spoon of stock if needed. we kept the meat on the bone.

Sounds very tasty MAK. I suppose I could use chicken or guinea fowl do you think? We dont eat bunnies in this house. I think I will give it a go during the week if OH is feeling better. He goes right off food when he is poorly. Ive got a few bottles of old red that need using up that was bought for parties but not drunk. (We dont drink either..I cant it makes me feel very ill unfortunately).

Yep - Chicken is a good substitute for young rabbit.
You could substitute the leek and onion for chicory but we would haveto buy that  .
