Slow Roasted Rabbit in the Sun Oven

July 6, 2014 by Tiffany Davis 9 Comments

This roasted rabbit recipe may be my favorite way to prepare a whole rabbit.  Making it in the solar oven is even better!

We processed one of your grow outs 2 days ago. I decided instead of putting it in freezer camp, I would marinate it.  There is nothing like raising your own small livestock – farm to table.  Whether you raise meat rabbits or just looking for a good rabbit recipe, I think this roast rabbit will be just the ticket.

Slow Roasted Rabbit in the All American Sun Oven

I used my  All American Sun Oven but you can prepare this in a regular oven.  It won’t be nearly as cool…but that’s ok. 😉  When slow roasting in your oven you’ll want to lower the temp to 200 – 225 and roast until the rabbit reaches an internal temp of 160 degrees.

Roasted Rabbit Ingredients

I had a 3 – 3.5 lbs young rabbit to roast and started with a simple, but delicious, marinade.

Roasted Rabbit – Marinade Ingredients

6 tablespoons of olive oil
Juice from 2 lemons
3 – 4 Fresh Rosemary Sprigs (removed from stem)
4 Cloves of Minced Garlic
1 Large (or 2 small) Minced Shallot
Freshly Ground Pepper & Sea Salt to taste

  1. Mix the marinade in the small bowl.Slow Roasted Rabbit in the All American Sun Oven by ImperfectlyHappy.com
  2. Make sure to rinse your rabbit thoroughly and pat dry.
  3. Put the rabbit in a gallon zip lock bag and pour marinade over it.
  4. Seal the bag and then gently work the marinade around the rabbit so it is all covered.
  5. Put into the refrigerator for about 2 hours

I checked the oven positioning every 30 minutes or so and it maintained a temp of 325.

The meat was falling off the bone!  I served my roasted rabbit with steamed baby carrots and sauteed spinach.  The flavor was amazing.  Delish!
