  • Wash the rabbit thoroughly, removing the head. Cut it into pieces, but keep the giblets (heart and liver). For the marinade, chop the onion and put it in a large bowl along with the rosemary, sage, salt, chili, and black pepper. Add 7 tablespoons of olive oil and the wine, and mix everything well. Once the marinade is ready, add the rabbit and let it sit for 15–20 minutes. Meanwhile, cut the mushrooms into small pieces. Take a large skillet, add oil, and put in the sliced bacon and garlic. Fry the bacon over medium heat until golden. Remove the bacon and garlic, and add the mushrooms to the same oil. Sauté them for 5–7 minutes. Add the marinated rabbit pieces and all the marinade to the skillet with the mushrooms. Meanwhile, drop the tomatoes into boiling water for a couple of minutes to loosen the skins; peel them and cut them into small pieces. Add the tomatoes to the rabbit, then stir in the bacon and garlic, salt, and pepper. Cover the skillet and simmer over low heat for 25–30 minutes, stirring now and then. And that's it — Istrian-style rabbit is ready. Serve it hot.
