The hare in salmì is a flavorful and very tasty game main course. If you like game, this is a dish for you, not too complicated, but requires a little patience, as the hare needs to marinate with red wine, herbs, and spices for 12 hours in the fridge, then it is slowly cooked. This succulent dish should be served with polenta or fresh bread.
