How To Roast A Rabbit Recipes

WHOLE ROASTED RABBIT WITH GARLIC, ROSEMARY AND CORIANDER

Steps:

• Line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
• Spread rabbit out as flat as possible and place it on prepared pan.
• Season both sides with salt and pepper.
• Combine oil, garlic, rosemary, coriander, peppercorns and chili powder in a small bowl.
• Rub mixture over both sides of rabbit.
• Cover and refrigerate 2-3 hours.
• Preheat oven to 475°F.
• Uncover rabbit.
• Roast until tender and cooked through, 30-35 minutes.

ROASTED RABBIT WITH POTATOES AND ROSEMARY

Steps:

• Season the rabbit with salt and pepper and place in a non-corrosive dish. Mince the garlic and mix with the lemon juice, half the rosemary leaves and half a cup of the olive oil. Pour onto the rabbit, turn in the marinade, cover and refrigerate overnight, turning occasionally.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place the rabbit in a roasting pan and pour on the marinade. Cover the rabbit with a piece of foil. Place the potatoes around the rabbit and sprinkle with salt, pepper and remaining rosemary leaves.
• Add the remaining oil and toss the potatoes so that they are coated and won't stick to the bottom of the roasting pan. Roast for 20 minutes then remove the foil from the rabbit. Roast for another 10 to 25 minutes, or until tender and lightly browned.

ROAST RABBIT WITH THYME

Steps:

• Ask your butcher to joint the rabbit, cutting the legs into two pieces, the saddle into three and the shoulders and front into two. Heat oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7.
• Put the rabbit in a large roasting tin, season and add 1 tbsp of the thyme leaves. Add the oil and toss until the rabbit is well coated. Roast for 20 mins.
• Add the onions or shallots and the garlic, then stir well and roast for another 15 mins, stirring again halfway through. Sprinkle over the remaining thyme before serving.

SLOW ROASTED RABBIT

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Season the rabbit with salt and pepper. Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the rabbit pieces and brown on all sides. Place in a 9x13 inch baking dish. In a medium bowl, combine the sugar, onion, ketchup, garlic, paprika, Worcestershire sauce and water; pour over the rabbit.
• Bake uncovered for 90 minutes in the preheated oven, basting frequently. Meat should be very tender when done.

WHOLE ROASTED RABBIT WITH GUANCIALE, WILTED GREENS AND PAN DRIPPINGS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 500 degrees.
• Season rabbits on all sides and inside the cavity with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Set aside.
• Trim the watercress and dandelion greens, removing the woodiest stems. Cut the Treviso into halves the long way, then cut each half into thirds, and trim away any especially tough white stalky interior core.
• Lay sliced guanciale on a sheet pan large enough to hold the rabbits. (You can use 2 separate pans if necessary.) Scatter the dandelion greens, watercress and Treviso on top of the guanciale, and then place the rabbit on top, back side facing up. Drizzle the rabbit and greens with the wine and extra-virgin olive oil.
• Roast rabbits for 20 minutes. After 20 minutes, check rabbits, and rotate the pans to ensure that they are cooking and browning evenly. Return to the oven to continue roasting until rabbit legs are just cooked through, about 15 more minutes.
• Let rabbit rest for 10 minutes, then cut into 8 pieces each; two hindquarters, two forequarters and four loin pieces. Transfer the guanciale and greens to a serving platter. Place the rabbit pieces on top and drizzle with the pan-drippings left on the sheet tray and a healthy drizzle of olive oil.
