I recently bought a rabbit and a chicken from a local farmer. They were mostly for my cousin's baby which starts to eat regular food.
We cut them up and put most parts in the freezer and I boiled the remaining carcasses - we got a very fat broth from them. I then separated the remaining pieces of meat and put the broth in jars - some of them with the meat and others clear.
She now mixes it with some boiled veggies for the baby, or boils the veggies in the broth.
I guess you were looking for adult recipes ;) but with some more spices it's great food - very soft, delicate, can be a basis for something else.
I think it's a good idea to boil the rabbit before baking it or anything - you get a great broth and the meat is soft. In this case, the rabbit was very lean and smaller than the chicken - which was a fat broiler. Some people suggest that a proper broth should be made of three different meats - so I sometimes add beef (recently I also added smoked pears - a traditional Christmas spice - and the broth smelled great and had a beautiful colour).
