Best Herb Roasted Rabbit With Pomegranates Recipes

DARK ROASTED POMEGRANATE RABBIT

Steps:

• Whisk together marinade ingredients. Add rabbit pieces and marinate overnight in the refrigerator, turning rabbit several times.
• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Remove rabbit from marinade and reserve marinade. Pat rabbit dry. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Working in two batches, add the rabbit and sear until golden, about 8 minutes per batch.
• Place rabbit on a baking sheet. Bake until tender, 8 to 15 minutes, removing smaller pieces as they are done. Meanwhile, pour the marinade into the skillet. Simmer over medium heat for 5 minutes, scraping up browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
• Pour juices that have accumulated on the baking sheet into the sauce. Strain through a fine sieve. Degrease. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Place the rabbit on a serving platter. Pour the sauce over the rabbit and serve.

ROASTED VEGETABLES WITH HERBED FETA, PISTACHIO AND POMEGRANATE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Combine the carrots, potatoes and Brussels sprouts in a large bowl. Drizzle with 1/4 cup olive oil and sprinkle with the salt, pepper and coriander. Spread the vegetables on the prepared baking sheet and roast for 15 to 20 minutes. Flip the vegetables and continue to roast until tender and browned all over, 15 to 20 minutes more.
• Meanwhile, add the feta, yogurt, honey, lemon zest and lemon juice to a food processor and pulse until smooth and creamy, adding a little water if needed to loosen the puree. Add the herbs and pulse until just distributed (you don't want to turn the mixture green; you just want to combine them). Spread the feta mixture on a platter. Arrange the roasted vegetables on top of the feta. Sprinkle the pomegranate seeds and pistachios over the top and finish with a drizzle of olive oil.

HERB-ROASTED RABBIT WITH POMEGRANATES RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Rinse rabbit pieces and pat dry. Heat oil over medium-high heat; add Canadian bacon and saute until browned, about 5 minutes, stirring frequently. Add shallots and continue to saute for 4 minutes, until shallots are limp. Using a slotted spoon, remove bacon mixture; drain on paper towels. Add the rabbit pieces to the skillet and saute for 5 minutes per sides until nicely browned, turning once. Transfer rabbit pieces to a roasting pan. Top with bacon mixture and rosemary. Add chicken broth to the pan. Cover with aluminum foil and roast for 50 to 60 minutes until rabbit is tender. Arrange rabbit on a heated serving platter; keep warm. Place roasting pan on top of the stove and stir in dry white wine. Cook over medium-high heat, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan, until reduced by 1/3. Add pomegranate seeds and heat through. Spoon sauce and seeds over the rabbit pieces and garnish with rosemary sprigs, if desired. This recipe yields 12 servings.
