At a glance
This straightforward roast combines a tender rabbit with roasted vegetables and a creamy finish that takes just over two hours from start to table. You'll spend about 25 minutes prepping the rabbit and vegetables, then let the oven do most of the work with some occasional basting along the way, finishing with a quick cream enrichment that brings everything together beautifully.

Prepare the vegetables
Peel the carrots. Cut larger pieces lengthwise into quarters; smaller ones can be left whole. Cut the leek into quarters as well, using both the white and green parts. Peel the onion and cut it into eighths. Place all the vegetables in the roasting pan and season lightly with salt and pepper.

Into the roasting pan
Place the rabbit on top of the vegetables. Peel the garlic cloves and slice them, then scatter the slices over the vegetables, inside the rabbit, and on top of it. Do the same with the bay leaves. Cover with the lid of the roasting pan and place in an oven preheated to 150°C.
