Roasted Rabbit With Garlic and Olives image

This recipe is from my cookbook from The Stinking Rose restaurant in San Francisco. As the name implies, garlic is their featured ingredient. DH and I made this recipe a few nights ago. We really enjoyed it. I am guessing on the prep time because my rabbit already came in pieces and I did not have to cut it myself.

Time 1h35m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
2 rabbits, cleaned, cut into pieces
5 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1/2 cup garlic clove
1/2 cup pitted green olives (such as picholine or Spanish)
3 sprigs thyme leaves, chopped

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • In a shallow bowl, stir flour, salt, and pepper together. Dredge rabbit pieces in flour mixture, completely coating meat on all sides.
  • In a large cast-iron skillet, heat 3 Tb olive oil over medium heat. Put rabbit in the skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, until nicely browned.
  • In a small bowl, toss the garlic with 1 Tb olive oil to coat completely.
  • Transfer rabbit to a baking dish and sprinkle with garlic, olives, and thyme. Bake, uncovered, for about an hour, or until the garlic cloves are golden brown and the rabbit is browned on the outside and opaque throughout.
  • Drizzle the remaining 1 Tb olive oil in an abstract pattern on a serving platter and arrange rabbit on top. Scoop the garlic cloves and olives from the baking dish and sprinkle over the rabbit. Serve immediately.
