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

  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.
