Oven-roasted farm-raised rabbit

Diverse - Oven-roasted farm-raised rabbit by Dimitrina A. - Recipia

Oven-roasted farm-raised rabbit is baked covered and browned at the end, with the liver in the pan alongside the legs and breast. I serve it with mashed red potatoes beaten with butter, and the meat gets browned edges once the pan is uncovered. I cut the pieces fairly large when I portion the rabbit. Prep: 25 minutes. Cook: 85-100 minutes. Total time: 110-125 minutes. Serves: 4. About 780 kcal and 67 g protein per serving.

Ingredients

For the rabbit

  • 1 fresh farm-raised rabbit (legs breast liver)
  • 100 g butter
  • 300 ml water
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground pepper
  • 1 teaspoon sweet paprika

For the mash

  • 1 kg red potatoes
  • 2000 ml water
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon Vegeta
  • 45 g butter

Preparation

1. Preheat the oven to 190°C. Portion the rabbit and pat the meat dry with paper towels. 2. Cut 100 g of butter into pieces and put it in a roasting pan. Add the meat, season with 1 teaspoon of salt, 1/2 teaspoon of pepper and 1 teaspoon of sweet paprika. Pour in 300 ml of water, cover the pan with aluminum foil and bake for 40-50 minutes, until the meat starts to become tender. 3. Meanwhile, peel the potatoes, rinse them and cut them into rounds. Put them in a pot with 2000 ml of water and 1 teaspoon of salt. Boil for 20 minutes, until a fork goes in easily, then drain. 4. Remove the foil from the pan and bake the rabbit for another 20-30 minutes, until browned and the meat juices run clear. Meanwhile, season the potatoes with 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1 teaspoon of Vegeta, add 45 g of butter and beat with a whisk.

Notes

Thick legs need more time than the breast; check the thickest part, not just the color on the surface. Choose a fresh rabbit with a clean smell; with a large one, the legs may stay firmer than the breast. Red potatoes make a denser, chewier mash than floury potatoes, so I only beat it until there are no chunks left. I serve pickles alongside the rabbit and mash. The butter in the mash can be replaced with 30 ml of olive oil; the butter in the basic version contains dairy. The meat and mash keep in sealed containers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Frequently asked questions

Can wild rabbit be used instead of farm-raised rabbit?

Yes, but it may be leaner and firmer; keep it covered for another 10 minutes at 190°C before browning.

How should I portion the rabbit for roasting?

Separate the two legs, then divide the body into 4 pieces and leave the liver whole.

Can I boil the potatoes whole?

Yes, if they are small; boil them in their skins for 25 minutes and peel them once they have cooled enough to handle.
