  • 3 spring onions (or 1 large white onion) finely chopped
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 large winter storage carrots (about 2 cups), peeled and chopped
  • 1 head of celeriac, peeled and diced
  • 1 medium-sized head of fennel, diced
  • 1 parsnip, peeled and diced
  • 2 TBS herbs fines
  • 1 quart of homemade broth/stock (I used beef bone broth, but chicken broth would be ok too)

Instructions
  1. On a plate, pour out the coconut flour and mix it with the salt and pepper.
  2. Heat a dutch oven over medium heat on the stove top.
  3. Add 1 TBS of the coconut oil.
  4. Dredge the rabbit legs in the coconut flour mixture on both sides, and working in batches, saute them in the dutch oven until browned on both sides.
  5. Remove the browned rabbit legs and saute the others until done, adding more coconut oil if needed.
  6. Pre-heat your oven to 275 degrees F.
  7. When you have finished browning the rabbit, add 2 TBS of butter or coconut oil to the dutch oven and saute the onion for about five minutes.
  8. Now add the herbs, garlic, carrot, parsnip, fennel, and celeriac.
  9. Saute for about ten minutes longer, stirring occasionally.
  10. Place the rabbit legs back in the pot and cover with the broth and wine.
  11. Bring the pot to a simmer.
  12. Place the lid on the pot and remove from stove top.
  13. Put the whole pot in the oven for 2.5 hours.
  14. When done, remove from the oven and remove lid.
  15. Add the peas and serve.
