1 rabbit (2 1/2 to 3 pounds), cut into 8 pieces
salt and freshly ground black pepper
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 small onion, finely chopped
1/2 cup finely chopped carrot
1/2 cup finely chopped celery
1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary leaves
1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme
1 bay leaf
1/2 cup dry white wine
1 cup chicken broth

Steps:

1 Rinse the rabbit pieces and pat dry with paper towels. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. 2 In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the rabbit and brown lightly on all sides, about 15 minutes. 3 Scatter the onion, carrot, celery, and herbs around the rabbit pieces and cook until the onion is softened, about 5 minutes. 4 Add the wine and bring it to a simmer. Cook until most of the liquid is evaporated, about 2 minutes. Add the broth and bring it to a simmer. Reduce the heat to low. Cover the pan and cook, turning the rabbit occasionally with tongs, until tender when pierced with a fork, about 30 minutes. 5 Transfer the rabbit to a serving platter. Cover and keep warm. Increase the heat and boil the contents of the skillet until reduced and syrupy, about 2 minutes. Discard the bay leaf. 6 Pour the contents of the pan over the rabbit and serve immediately.
