Preparation
- Step 1
For rabbit: Heat oven to 375 degrees. Brown bacon in large pan over medium heat until it releases all of its fat. Remove bacon and reserve for other use. Add onions, brown well, and transfer to a plate. Season rabbit with salt and pepper and brown well on all sides. Add wine, garlic, and water to barely cover. Cover and bake until rabbit is tender, about 1 hour.
- Step 2
For sauce: Melt butter in saucepan over medium-low heat and add onions and green garlic bulbs. Sauté until tender. Add potato, garlic and stock. Simmer until potato is tender. Add green garlic tops. Let cool. Purée in blender until smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste, and set aside.
- Step 3
Transfer rabbit and onions to a platter. Return pan to high heat and reduce broth to about 1 cup. Add butter and green garlic sauce, and adjust salt and pepper to taste. Return rabbit to sauce, turning to coat and allowing to reheat. To serve, place a portion of rabbit on each of four plates. Top with a spoonful or two of sauce.

Cooking Notes
Wow, this was a disappointment. We are big fans of cooking rabbit and wanted to try something different for a change. Since it's spring we waited to see green garlic at the farmers market and then cooked this up. I have wayyyyyyy more to say than can fit in this space, so--too much work and puzzlement with ingredients and instructions for very little payoff. Take your rabbit elsewhere.
