Ingredients

  • 4 rabbit thighs
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 ½ teaspoons salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme chopped
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 4 carrots chopped
  • 4 medium potatoes cubed
  • 2 zucchinis sliced
  • 1 small onion cut into wedges (optional)
  • ½ cup chicken broth or dry white wine
  • 2 tablespoons butter cubed
  • Fresh parsley chopped, for garnish

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • Make the herb marinade by combining olive oil, minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, salt, and black pepper.
  • Rub the marinade all over the rabbit thighs and set aside to marinate while preparing the vegetables.
  • Chop the vegetables and toss them in a bit of olive oil, salt, and pepper.
  • Arrange the vegetables in the bottom of a large roasting pan or oven-safe dish.
  • Nestle the rabbit thighs on top of the vegetables.
  • Pour the chicken broth or wine evenly over everything and dot with cubes of butter.
  • Cover with foil and roast for 45 minutes. Then, remove the foil and roast uncovered for another 25–30 minutes, until the rabbit is golden and cooked through.
  • Optional: Broil for 2–3 minutes at the end for a crisp finish.
  • Rest for 5 minutes, garnish with parsley, and serve warm.
