I was trying to make it like this in the picture like used to do, but in the half way because the limited facility ( I was in a motel) and ingredients I got, then I changed plan.
Chopped the legs in the pieces and put them in water for about a hour, Use a cast iron pot which is important, put some oil in it and start to stir fry with soy sauce, honey, spring onion and ginger and then put some hot water in it, close the cap for 20-30 minutes. The dark color is because the honey, can be avoid but as said limited facility. @Tall kiwi

The best hare recipe I have found is Creole Lamb Casserole from THE BEST OF ALISON HOLT 1991. Hare must be aged well prior to cooking. Cook long and slow until it falls of the bone. Let it stand for 24 hours then reheat the next day. I currently have a Le Crusete full of 2kg hare which is my heat and eat meals for this week whilst away culling rabbits.

I also add a good dollop of chutney.
I've given up cooking hare with red wine, it doesn't work well.
Hare or rabbit livers and kidneys are delicious pan fried with whatever floats your boat. I use onion, garlic, bacon (sometimes, a splash of red wine, worster or soy sauce and ginger. Top with fresh parsley, serve on toast! Yum!
