Cooking Preparation of the Recipe:

Karen Mintzias 6 Peppercorns; bruised
1 Rabbit or hare 2 c Dry red wine
-- cleaned and skinned 1/2 c Vinegar
2 Celery stalks, with leaves, 1/4 c Butter or margarine
-- chopped Salt
2 md Onions; chopped Freshly ground pepper
1 Carrot; sliced 4 Fresh tomatoes; chopped -OR-
1/2 c Chopped fresh parsley 8 oz -Tomato sauce
1 Bay leaf; crumbled 3 Allspice berries
2 Sprigs fresh rosemary

After washing the rabbit or hare thoroughly and cutting into serving
pieces, place in a large glass or earthenware bowl. Make a marinade by
combining the celery, onions, carrots, herbs, peppercorns, wine, and
vinegar and pouring over the meat. Cover and refrigerate for a day or two,
turning the pieces over occasionally.

On serving day, drain, reserving the marinade, and wipe dry. Transfer the
marinade to a casserole and simmer for 15 minutes. While the marinade is
cooking, heat the butter in a large frying pan, and when very hot sear the
meat over high heat until it is reddened in color without browning. Remove
from the heat, and with a spatula lift the rabbit or hare pieces into the
simmering marinade, then pour in the remaining butter. Taste for
seasoning, then add the salt and pepper, tomatoes, and allspice. Weight
the meat with a small plate to keep it under the sauce, then bake it in a
very slow oven (225 F) for 2-1/2 hours, or until the meat is tender and the
sauce thickened.
