How to Make Whole Roasted Rabbit With Garlic Rosemary And Coriander

  1. Preheat oven to 475°F (240°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Pat the rabbit dry with paper towels. Spread the rabbit out as flat as possible on the prepared baking sheet.
  3. Season both sides of the rabbit generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons olive oil, 4 cloves minced garlic, 2 tablespoons chopped fresh rosemary, 1 tablespoon ground coriander, 1 teaspoon black peppercorns (coarsely crushed), and 1 tablespoon New Mexico chili powder (or piment d'espelette).
  5. Rub the mixture evenly over both sides of the rabbit, ensuring it's well coated.
  6. Cover the baking sheet with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2-3 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld.
  7. Remove the rabbit from the refrigerator 30 minutes before roasting to allow it to come to room temperature.
  8. Uncover the rabbit and roast for 30-35 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the juices run clear when pierced with a fork. Basting halfway through with pan juices will enhance the flavor and browning.
  9. Let the rabbit rest for 10-15 minutes before carving and serving. Enjoy!
