  2. Allow to cook together for several minutes, then add your hare cut in pieces, washed and lightly floured, and allow it to brown.
  3. Then slowly add a wineglassful of white wine, a little tomato conserve diluted with stock or water, half a pint of stock, half an ounce of dried mushrooms that have been soaked in water a few minutes, a pinch of nutmeg.
