Ingredients

Roasted Rabbit Porchetta

Herb Roasted Potatoes

Preparation

Roasted Rabbit Porchetta

1. Prepare the Rabbit

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Rinse the rabbit thoroughly and pat dry with paper towels. Place it on a cutting board.

2. Seasoning

In a bowl, mix together the chopped rosemary, sage, minced garlic, olive oil, salt, black pepper, and lemon zest. Rub this mixture all over the rabbit, ensuring it is well coated.

3. Roasting

Place the rabbit on a roasting pan and roast in the preheated oven for about 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C). Baste occasionally with the pan juices.

4. Rest

Once done, remove the rabbit from the oven and let it rest for about 15 minutes before carving.

Braised Swiss Chard

5. Sauté the Garlic

In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.

6. Add Swiss Chard

Add the chopped Swiss chard to the skillet and sauté for about 5 minutes until it starts to wilt.

7. Braise

Pour in the vegetable broth, season with salt and pepper, and cover the skillet. Let it simmer for about 10-15 minutes until the chard is tender.

Herb Roasted Potatoes

8. Prepare the Potatoes

In a large mixing bowl, combine the halved baby potatoes with olive oil, chopped rosemary, thyme, salt, and black pepper. Toss until the potatoes are well coated.

9. Roasting

Spread the potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet. Roast in the same oven as the rabbit for about 30-40 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy, turning halfway through.
