Time 2h30m

Number Of Ingredients 9

8 medium red potatoes, quartered
24 large cloves garlic
6 Tbsp olive oil, divided
4 oz slab bacon, rind removed and cut into 1" cubes
4 lb rabbit, cut into 8 pieces, rinsed and patted dry
6 Tbsp fresh rosemary leaves OR 2 Tbsp. dried rosemary
2 tsp coarsely ground black pepper
Coarse salt, to taste, optional
6 sprigs rosemary, for garnish

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F. Place the potatoes and garlic cloves in a large shallow roasting pan. Sprinkle with 1 Tbsp. of the olive oil, and toss to coat. Bake for 30 minutes.
  • While the potatoes and garlic are roasting, combine the bacon and 2 Tbsp. of the oil in a large skillet, and place over low heat. Cook just until the bacon begins to wilt. Then remove the bacon with a slotted spoon, and set it aside. Saute the rabbit, in batches if necessary, in the skillet, setting the pieces aside as they are browned. Reserve 2 Tbsp. of the pan drippings.
  • Remove the roasting pan from the oven, and reduce the heat to 350°F. Add the rabbit, rosemary, pepper, coarse salt, reserved pan drippings, and remaining 3 Tbsp. oil to the roasting pan with the potatoes and garlic. Toss thoroughly, and return the pan to the oven. Bake for 20 minutes.
  • Sprinkle the reserved bacon over the top, and bake until the meat is tender and the vegetables are golden, another 20 min.
