I disagree. Laurel leaf makes a better rabbit stew.
Repost of my bunnie stew:
Bunny Stew
Ingredients:
1 rabbit
1 lb. of onions
2-3 cloves of garlic
1 cup of oil
1 small tumbler of red wine
1 lb. of ripe tomatoes
half a tbsp. of concentrated tomato pulp
2 cinnamon sticks and 5-6 cloves
2 laurel leaves
salt, pepper, cumin
Procedure:
Cut the rabbit into serving portions and brown it in the oil. Pour in the
wine and let it bubble. Then, add the roughly chopped onions and when they
are half cooked, add the chopped tomatoes and the concentrate diluted in
water, the garlic, the laurel leaves, the cinnamon, the cloves, the salt
and pepper, the cumin and a little water. Cook for about an hour.
(Originally, this recipe was aimed at Christian's pet bunnies, but after
seeing how cute they are, the recipe now calls for wild rabbit. --But if
those bunnies get any plumper, I'm sending the hounds after them.)

I use only 1 stick of cinnamon, myself. As for a the small tumbler, my
grandmother was the one who passed on the recipe, so I never did learn
exactly what a small tumbler was. I always use about 3 ounces of wine,
then finish off the bottle while the rabbit stews.
About 5 years ago I lived in the rural Ozarks of Missouri, in a small two
bedroom cabin, about 60 miles from any real civilization. Come rabbit
season, I would break out the beagles and catch dinner almost every other
day. The chase was what I enjoyed. The yell of beagles running rabbit is
pure mozart, and the dogs just loved the shit out of it. If I was to even
look at my guns the dogs would start yelling at the top of their lungs for
me to take them running.
Damn I miss that hillbilly life, sometimes.
