1

Prepare the rabbit by cutting it into pieces and removing any excess fat.

2

Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat until shimmering.

3

Add chopped onions, carrots, and celery to the pot; sauté until softened, about 5-7 minutes.

4

Stir in minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.

5

Add the rabbit pieces to the pot, browning them on all sides for about 8-10 minutes.

6

Pour in the red wine, scraping the bottom of the pot to deglaze.

7

Add chopped tomatoes, bay leaves, thyme, and season with salt and black pepper.

8

Pour in the chicken broth until the rabbit is just covered.

9

Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and cover; simmer for 1.5 to 2 hours until the rabbit is tender.

10

Add diced potatoes and mushrooms to the pot; cook for an additional 30 minutes until the potatoes are fork-tender.

11

Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary before serving.

12

Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
