Braised Rabbit with Olives and Preserved Lemon

I found this recipe last Autumn and made the best dish to have ever come out of my kitchen!

For the Marinade:

1 whole rabbit, quartered, loins removed and rack chopped into large pieces
½ large onion, cut into chunks
1 medium carrot, cut into 1” pieces
1 celery stalk, cut into 1” pieces
3 cloves garlic, crushed
Bouquet garni of 1 bay leaf, 1 sprig thyme, 1 sprig rosemary, and 1 sprig parsley
½ bottle white wine

1 tablespoon flour
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon butter

salt and pepper to taste
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
