Ingredients
  

  • 1 medium rabbit 1,3 Kg (2.8 Lb) approximately
  • 1 small red bell pepper
  • 1 small celery stick
  • 40 g semihard goat cheese
  • 4-5 mini onions the size of cherry tomato
  • 4 bay leaves

Marinade

  • 6 tbsp olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic finely chopped or mashed
  • 1 tsp sea salt
  • 1 small lemon (juice for the marinade)
  • 1 tsp dried rosemary
  • 1 tsp oregano
  • 1/2 tsp dried peppermint
  • 100 ml (1/2 cup) organic tomato paste

Finishing

  • 4 tbsp goat or sheep butter

Instructions
 

  • First, prepare the marinade by mixing all the ingredients in a bowl. Wash the rabbit thoroughly and rub it with the marinade inside and out.
  • Chop the peppers and celery and mix them with goat cheese. Place them inside the rabbit and add bay leaves, Close the opening with toothpicks.
  • Slowly pour the tomato paste all over the rabbit. Place it in a deep baking pan. Add mini onions aside and add the lemon halves that you've squeezed earlier for the marinade. Cover with aluminium foil or a baking pan lid. Bake for 25 minutes at 200ºC. 
  • Remove the lid or aluminium foil. Add goat butter on top. Leave it in the oven for another 5 minutes so that the butter melts and rabbit gets a nice roasted crust. 
  • Serve with the fresh or fermented salad of your choice.
