Honey Roast Rabbit Recipes

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.

Steps:

• Arrange meat in shallow baking dish.
• Mix all other ingredients.
• Baste frequently with mixture while cooking.
• Bake at 350°F for hour to an hour and fifteen minutes.

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.

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.

Steps:

• Whisk together marinade ingredients. Add rabbit pieces and marinate overnight in the refrigerator, turning rabbit several times.
• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Remove rabbit from marinade and reserve marinade. Pat rabbit dry. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Working in two batches, add the rabbit and sear until golden, about 8 minutes per batch.
• Place rabbit on a baking sheet. Bake until tender, 8 to 15 minutes, removing smaller pieces as they are done. Meanwhile, pour the marinade into the skillet. Simmer over medium heat for 5 minutes, scraping up browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
• Pour juices that have accumulated on the baking sheet into the sauce. Strain through a fine sieve. Degrease. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Place the rabbit on a serving platter. Pour the sauce over the rabbit and serve.
