Steps:
- For rabbit: preheat oven to 375 degrees. Season rabbit with salt and pepper to taste. Place a large braising pan or casserole over medium-high heat and add vegetable oil. When oil shimmers, add rabbit and brown lightly on all sides.
- Transfer rabbit to a platter. Add carrot, onion and celery root to pan. Sauté until softened and lightly browned, about 10 minutes. Return rabbit to pan on top of vegetables, and add wine, thyme and garlic. Cover and braise in oven for 45 minutes. Meanwhile, prepare corn, peas and spaetzle.
- For corn and peas: in a large saucepan bring milk to a simmer and season lightly with salt. Add corn and simmer for 2 minutes. Drain, cut corn from cob and reserve. Fill a small saucepan with lightly salted water and bring to a simmer. Add peas and simmer just until they turn bright green. Drain, cool in ice water, drain again; reserve.
- For spaetzle: place a large pot of lightly salted water over high heat to bring to a boil. Place flour in a large bowl and season to taste with salt, pepper and a pinch of nutmeg. Add eggs, 1/2 cup cream and quark; mix well. When water boils, press dough through a spaetzle maker directly into water. As noodles float to top, remove with a slotted spoon and transfer to a bowl. Mix with a bit of olive oil. Set aside.
- To finish: when rabbit is cooked, reserve 3 tablespoons stock. Remove rabbit meat from bones and cut into small cubes. Place a large sautépan over medium heat, and add butter, corn, peas, rabbit and spaetzle. Sautè until thoroughly heated. Add reserved rabbit stock, 5 teaspoons heavy cream and a dash of lemon juice. Bring to a boil, add tarragon and chives, and season with salt and pepper to taste.
SPAETZLE
Steps:
- In a large bowl, combine the flour, salt, pepper, and nutmeg. In another mixing bowl, whisk the eggs and milk together. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the egg-milk mixture. Gradually draw in the flour from the sides and combine well; the dough should be smooth and thick. Let the dough rest for 10 to 15 minutes.
- Bring 3 quarts of salted water to a boil in a large pot, then reduce to a simmer. To form the spaetzle, hold a large holed colander or slotted spoon over the simmering water and push the dough through the holes with a spatula or spoon. Do this in batches so you don't overcrowd the pot. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes or until the spaetzle floats to the surface, stirring gently to prevent sticking. Dump the spaetzle into a colander and give it a quick rinse with cool water.
- Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat and add the spaetzle; tossing to coat. Cook the spaetzle for 1 to 2 minutes to give the noodles some color, and then sprinkle with the chopped chives and season with salt and pepper before serving.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Sprinkle the rabbit legs with salt and pepper. Place a large Dutch oven over high heat and add the oil. Let get hot, then add the rabbit legs and sear on both sides, 5 to 7 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate until ready to use.
- Reduce the heat to medium-low, then add the onions. Season with salt and saute until translucent, 5 to 7 minutes. Add the vermouth and mustard and bring to a simmer. Add the butter, the rabbit legs and rosemary atop the onions. Cover the pan and bake until the rabbit is tender, 35 to 40 minutes.
- Remove the rabbit from the Dutch oven and set aside. Put the Dutch oven back over medium-high heat and add the cream to the cooking liquid and onions. Cook until heated through and thickened, about 2 minutes.
- For the spaetzle: Bring a large pot of water to a boil.
- Whisk the eggs, milk, rosemary, salt and pepper together in a small mixing bowl. Add the flour gradually until a thick batter is formed.
- Over the boiling water, push the batter through the bottom of a colander with a spatula and simmer until the spaetzle float to the top, 3 to 4 minutes. Strain and place on a paper towel-lined sheet tray. Let cool slightly.
- Heat a 14-inch cast-iron pan over medium-high heat. Add the butter and heat until frothy and browned. Add the spaetzle and cook until crisp, 2 to 3 minutes. Drain on the paper towels and season with salt.
- Place the spaetzle in a large shallow dish and top with the rabbit legs. Pour the sauce over the legs and serve.
