White baking dish with roasted rabbit. Surrounded by herbs and garlic.

Ingredients 

  • 3⅓ pounds Rabbit Pieces
  • 2 Tablespoons Olive Oil
  • 8 cloves Garlic Divided
  • 2 Tablespoons Rosemary Or spices of your choice
  • ½ cup Water
  • Salt To taste
  • Ground Black Pepper To taste

Equipment

  • Oven
  • Roasting Tin
  • Small Bowl

Instructions

  • Place the rabbit meat pieces in a roasting tin.
  • In a small bowl mix olive oil, 4 grated garlic cloves, rosemary (or spices of your choice), salt, and pepper.
  • Pour over the meat and turn the meat a few times in the marinade to coat it all over. Cover with plastic wrap or cling film and marinate for at least 1 hour, preferably 3-4 hours. Remove from the fridge about 30 minutes before cooking.
  • Preheat oven to 400°F.
  • Add the remaining 3-4 whole garlic cloves to the roasting pan. Pour in the water.
  • Bake for about 30-40 minutes, flipping the meat pieces about every 10 minutes. Checking with a thermometer is the best way to ensure that the rabbit is safe to eat but not overcooked, meat should reach 160°F. If you overcook it, it will become dry.
