Oven-roasted rabbit with wine

Oven-roasted rabbit with wine has one simple twist: the vegetables are cooked separately in a wok. The pieces are first covered with wine, then browned with garlic, curry and rosemary; the vegetables stay tender, with tomato sauce. I check the legs first, since that’s where the meat is thickest. Preparation: 20 minutes. Cooking: 80-85 minutes. Total time: 100-105 minutes. Serves: 6. Approximately 360 kcal and 30 g of protein per serving.
Ingredients
- 1 rabbit cut into pieces (1500 g)
- 1 teaspoon curry
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground pepper
- 45 ml olive oil
- 3 bay leaves
- 4 garlic cloves
- 150 ml white wine
- 450 g vegetable mix (carrot peas broccoli Brussels sprouts green beans)
- 1 red pepper (150 g)
- 1 medium tomato (150 g)
- 200 g tomato sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground pepper
- 200 ml water
Preparation
1. Pat the rabbit pieces dry with paper towels. Season with curry, rosemary, 1 teaspoon of salt and 1/2 teaspoon of pepper. 2. Arrange the pieces in a roasting pan, pour in the olive oil and add the bay leaves and sliced garlic. Pour in the wine, cover the pan with aluminum foil and bake in an oven preheated to 180°C for 40-45 minutes, until the juices are gently bubbling. 3. Remove the foil, turn the pieces over and bake for another 25 minutes, until browned. Baste the meat now and then with the juices in the pan and turn the pieces over. 4. Meanwhile, heat the wok and add the vegetable mix, sliced pepper, diced tomato and tomato sauce. Add 1/2 teaspoon of salt, 1/4 teaspoon of pepper and the water. Cook over medium heat for 15 minutes, until the vegetables are tender. 5. Pierce the legs with a fork. If it goes in easily, serve the roast with the vegetables.
Notes
Larger pieces may need a little more time; check the legs, since they’re the thickest part. The browning after removing the foil can happen quickly, so turn the pieces and baste them with the juices in the pan until they take on some color. The wine goes straight into the pan; for an alcohol-free version, use 150 ml of water. Sometimes the vegetables release a lot of liquid; cook them uncovered for a few more minutes. Keep the roast in the fridge for no more than 3 days and serve it with polenta.
Frequently asked questions
Why does the meat stay tough?
If the legs are still tough, cover the pan and bake them for another 15 minutes at 180°C, with 2 tablespoons of the juices from the pan.
Can I roast only the legs?
Yes. For approximately 800 g of legs, keep the temperature at 180°C and start checking the meat after 50 minutes total.
Can I use wild rabbit?
Yes, but the meat may need more time. Add another 100 ml of water to the pan and check the legs before the final browning.
