How to Make Creole Rabbit Louisiana Style

  1. Pat the rabbit dry and place it in a large bowl.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 teaspoons salt, 1 teaspoon black pepper, ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper, 1 medium chopped onion (about 1 cup), 4 cloves minced garlic, and ¼ cup white wine vinegar.
  3. Pour the marinade over the rabbit, ensuring all pieces are coated.
  4. Cover the bowl and marinate in the refrigerator overnight (or for at least 4 hours).
  5. Preheat oven to 450°F (232°C). Generously grease a large baking dish (or dutch oven).
  6. Transfer the marinated rabbit and marinade to the prepared baking dish.
  7. Bake for 1 hour.
  8. While the rabbit is baking, prepare the remaining ingredients: 1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes, undrained, 1 tablespoon tomato paste, 1 teaspoon dried thyme, ½ teaspoon dried oregano, and ¼ cup chicken broth.
  9. After 1 hour, combine the diced tomatoes, tomato paste, thyme, oregano, and chicken broth. Pour this mixture evenly over the rabbit.
  10. Bake for another 30-45 minutes, or until the rabbit is fork-tender and the sauce has thickened. Internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).
  11. Serve warm. Enjoy!
