HOW TO MAKE ROASTED RABBIT WITH LEMON
Step 1: Place the rabbit in a baking dish and season with a little salt, pepper, nutmeg, bay leaf, paprika, thyme, chopped garlic, lemon juice and honey. Let marinate about 1 to 2 hours.
Step 2: Preheat the oven to 180ºC (350ºF).

Step 4: Turn off the oven and serve the rabbit with fries or white rice.
TIPS FOR ROASTED RABBIT WITH LEMON
1. If the rabbit starts to brown too much cover with aluminum foil.
2. We usually roast the rabbit at 180ºC (350ºF) but, if you lower the temperature to 150ºC (300ºF), despite taking longer to roast, it has the advantage of enhancing much more the flavors.
3. If you have leftovers, store the rabbit in the fridge in a properly covered container (to prevent the growth of microorganisms). To avoid drying out, do not reheat the food in the oven, reheat it in the microwave.
