For a richer flavor, marinate the rabbit pieces in the red wine for at least 2 hours, or overnight in the refrigerator, before cooking. If you don't have red wine, you can substitute with chicken or vegetable broth. Feel free to add other vegetables to the stew, such as celery, parsnips, or turnips. Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley, alongside crusty bread for soaking up the delicious broth.
