In a large bowl, combine the rabbit pieces with minced garlic and red wine. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2-3 hours, or preferably overnight.

In a large, heavy-bottomed pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Remove the rabbit from the marinade, pat to dry, and fry until nicely browned on the outside. Remove rabbit and set aside.

In the same pot, add the chopped onions and sauté until they become translucent.

Deglaze the pan with your can of chopped tomatoes, including the juice and tomato paste. Stir well.

Add the bay leaves, oregano, paprika, thyme, and nutmeg. Stir to combine.

Return the rabbit to the pot. Add the sliced carrots and potatoes. Pour in enough water or chicken broth to just cover the ingredients.

Season with salt and pepper to taste. Bring the stew to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 2 to 2.5 hours, or until the rabbit is tender and falling off the bone.

Remove the bay leaves before serving. Serve hot, with crusty bread to soak up the sauce.
