Ingredients
| Quantity | Ingredient | |
|---|---|---|
| 4 | Rabbit legs | |
| ½ | cup | Walnuts |
| 2 | Cloves garlic | |
| ¼ | cup | Extra virgin oil, plus 4 T |
| 1 | teaspoon | Fresh rosemary leaves, chopped |
| 1 | tablespoon | Freshly ground pepper |

| ¼ | cup | Dried apricots, in 1/8\" julienne |

Directions
Remove bones from rabbit legs and butterfly open.
In a food processor, blend together walnuts, garlic, olive oil, rosemary and pepper until a paste is formed. Divide paste among 4 rabbit legs and 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 ¼ cup water at a time. Remove rabbit legs and cut the strings. Place on platter, top with cherry mixture and serve.
Yield: 4 servings
