1
Heat the oil in a large, heavy based frying pan with a lid. Add the rabbit pieces and cook over a high heat, turning until browned all over. Remove to a plate.

Add the chorizo, onion, garlic, carrot and clery and cooke over a medium heat until vegetables are well cooked (about 10 minutes).

Add the tomatoes, wine, water and thyme to the pan and bring to a boil. Return the legs to the pan and put the lid on. Cook for about 1 1/2 hours at a low simmer or until the rabbit is tender.

I leave the lid off in the final 10 minutes or so to make sure the sauce is a nice consistency.
