Rabbit with Shallots and Roasted Garlic

Step-by-step method

Let’s cook

At a glance

This is a comforting roasted rabbit dish inspired by a childhood favorite, where tender meat cooks gently with roasted garlic and shallots for about 75 minutes. The rabbit gets layered with bacon and vegetables, then roasts covered at high heat first before the temperature drops for slow, gentle cooking until the meat becomes beautifully tender.

  1. 1/4

    Prepare the rabbit in the roasting pan

    Clean the rabbit and, if you like, cut it into pieces — or leave it whole, whichever you prefer. 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, slice some thicker bacon rashers and lay them over the rabbit, scattering the rest around the pan. Moisten with water, or even better, with stock.

About this recipe

I love making rabbit, and the whole family enjoys it too. I've tried it all sorts of ways, but I still often think back to the version we used to have at home when I was a child. My mum used to make root vegetables preserved in salt — big batches to last the whole year, packed into jars and kept down in the cellar. And she'd often cook rabbit by burying the whole thing under this salted veg. Thanks to the salt in the vegetables, there was no need to salt the rabbit separately.
