ROASTED RABBIT

A different meat today. Rabbit. I know. I know. Some of you will find this meat dish a bit discouraging. But it is a delicious meat. It does not have much fat. And you can cook it in many ways. Let’s try something different. And do not be afraid. It is good.

Ingredients:

1 rabbit

3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

1 teaspoon red wine vinegar

2 cloves of garlic, chopped

1 teaspoon Spanish pimentón

Some salt to taste

Some freshly ground black pepper to taste

1 teaspoon dried thyme

1 teaspoon dried rosemary

1 teaspoon dried parsley

1 teaspoon dried oregano

The first step is preparing the rabbit. If it is not clean, clean and wash the rabbit well. Nowadays if you can buy rabbit meat, it is already clean. So you do not have any excuses.

Then mix the rest of the ingredients. Mix the herbs with the extra virgin olive oil and the vinegar. Rub this on the rabbit and let it marinade, covered, for one hour at least in the fridge.

Take it out from the fridge and let it go to room temperature. Put the rabbit in a preheated oven to 350ºF. Roast it for about one hour. But it is important that the meat is well done. Rare rabbit is not good. So make sure the rabbit is well done. If you see that the meat is getting dry, you can rub it with a mixture of oil and water.

And then your rabbit will be ready. You can serve it with a salad. Roasted potatoes are also a good side for the rabbit.

Do not be afraid of cooking rabbit. If you give rabbit a chance, you will be happy with it. Lean meat, and very delicious with the herbs. Enjoy!
