Rabbit Cacciatore

In France, you can find rabbit in almost every supermarket.  Normally, it's a whole rabbit that is sold, lazy cook are lousy at cutting up a chicken, don't even think of trying to cut up a rabbit!  And since lazy cook is a fan of drumstick, I bought some thor tooi (rabbit drumstick) frozen and only need to de-frost to exact amount of drumstick I need.  I got this recipe from Simply Recipes website.
