Just made this up today, been dying to try rabbit for some time and I saw it in the grocery store so i grabbed one. From there I just did a lot of improvising and came up with this:

Stew:
3 Cups Chicken Broth
1 Half a rabbit, cubed
1 Sausage, cubed
1 Cup Swiss Chards (stalks only)
1 Clove of garlic, diced
1 Piece of bacon
1 Bay Leaf
1/2 Cup Celery, diced
1/2 Can water chestnuts, diced
Salt & Pepper to taste

Marinade:
Olive Oil
Apple cider vinegar

I started off yesterday by de-boning the rabbit. I then took the meat and chopped it up into fairly small chunks. Then I took all the meat and put it in a marinade and left that to soak over night in the fridge.

Then early this morning I chopped the celery stalks, as well as the swiss chards. I chose only to use the stalks of the chards as the leaves wouldn't hold up to the long cooking time. Those I'll make something out of later. I put those aside for now.

Meanwhile I had the slow cooker warming up with about 3 cups of chicken stock. I cheat with stock and buy pre-made stock. It's just much easier. I then cut the sausage and bacon up into small chunks and fried them so that they were not fully cooked, but seared well. Those were then put into the slow cooker with a bay leaf.

Next is the rabbit, I also seared that well in the frying pan (with the bacon and sausage fat still in the pan). Once it was browned it went into the slow cooker as well.

At this point I had to head out so I put the celery and chards in, but if you're going to be around the house all day I recommend throwing them in half way through, so they retain their crispiness. The water chestnuts held up well and are still very crispy at the end.

From here, just set the slow cooker to low and leave it to simmer away. I let mine cook for 8 hours.
