Step-by-step method

Let’s cook

At a glance

You're in for a real treat with this rustic rabbit dish that combines tender meat with caramelized shallots and roasted garlic—a nostalgic family recipe that relies on bacon and gentle roasting for maximum flavor. The prep is straightforward and takes just 25 minutes, then you'll let the oven do most of the heavy lifting for about 90 minutes, starting hot and then lowering the heat to ensure the meat stays juicy and falls off the bone.

  1. 1/4

    Prepare the rabbit for roasting

    Clean the rabbit and, if you like, cut it into portions – or leave it whole, it's up to you. Arrange the rabbit pieces (or the whole rabbit) in a roasting pan, then season with salt and freshly ground pepper.

  2. 2/4

    Add the bacon

    If you like, you can lard the meat with chunks of streaky bacon. If not, simply cut thicker slices and lay them over the rabbit, tucking the rest into the pan around it. Add a splash of water, or better still, stock.

About this recipe

I love cooking rabbit, and everyone in my family enjoys it too. I try all sorts of different ways of preparing it, but I still often think back to the way we used to have it at home when I was a child. My mum used to make root vegetables preserved in salt — big jars of it, enough to last the whole year, kept down in the cellar. And she'd often cook rabbit by burying the whole thing under this salted vegetable mix. Thanks to the salt in the vegetables, there was no need to season the rabbit separately.
