Steps

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a small bowl, mix olive oil, minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, salt, and pepper.
  3. Rub the herb mixture all over the rabbit leg, ensuring it's well-coated.
  4. In a baking dish, place the diced carrot and potato, and pour the chicken broth over them.
  5. Nestle the seasoned rabbit leg on top of the vegetables.
  6. Cover the dish with aluminum foil and roast in the oven for 45 minutes.
  7. Remove the foil and roast for an additional 15 minutes, until the rabbit is golden and cooked through.
  8. Let it rest for a few minutes before serving with the roasted vegetables.

Tips for Herb-Roasted Rabbit with Garlic and Vegetables

  • The vegetables should be fork-tender and the rabbit lightly browned; a dry-looking dish may need a little more broth.
  • Avoid overcrowding the baking dish so the vegetables cook evenly and the rabbit browns after uncovering.
  • A small baking dish that holds the vegetables in a snug layer helps keep them moist in the broth.

Drink pairing

A dry, medium-bodied rosé
Its fresh acidity complements the herbs and vegetables without overpowering the delicate rabbit.

0% option: Sparkling water with a squeeze of lemon

Storage

Refrigerate leftovers within 2 hours in a covered container and use within 3–4 days. Reheat until steaming hot.

Frequently asked questions

How can I tell when the rabbit is done?
The meat should look opaque throughout and feel tender when pierced; the vegetables should be fork-tender.

Can I prepare this ahead?
You can chop the vegetables and mix the herb oil ahead, keeping them covered in the refrigerator. For the best texture, roast shortly before serving.

What should I serve alongside it?
A simple green salad or steamed green beans make a fresh contrast to the savory rabbit and roasted vegetables.
