1/2 c Walnuts
2 Cloves garlic
1/4 c Extra virgin oil, plus 4 T
1 ts Fresh rosemary leaves,

1 tb Freshly ground pepper

Remove bones from rabbit legs and butterfly open.

In a food processor, blend together walnuts, garlic, olive oil, rosemary

roll each leg up. Tie each leg securely with butcher twine.

In a 10 to 12-inch saute pan, heat 4 tablespoons oil until smoking. Place
rabbit legs in pan and saute on all sides. When fully browned, add onions,
cherries and apricots and saute until softened, about 6 to 7 more minutes.
Pour in Prosecco and bring to boil. Lower to a simmer and cover halfway.
Cook 50 to 60 minutes until very tender, turning occasionally. If liquid
dissipates, add 1/4 cup water at a time. Remove rabbit legs and cut the
strings. Place on platter, top with cherry mixture and serve.
