  • 2 cloves of garlic
  • 1 tbsp salt
  • 1 tbsp marjoram

Description

The French are rather delicate when it comes to rabbits. They like to eat them just like the Eastern Europeans. Numerous recipes prove that. But the French prefer to disassemble the animals before preparing them. This has a practical and an emotional advantage. Rabbit meat tends to dry out quickly. The cooking times can be better adjusted for individual parts. Also, with a whole rabbit in the oven, you can easily imagine the original, cute pet.

However, this recipe has the great advantage that it works quickly. The whole rabbit is put into the oven with the spices. Cubes of pork belly bake in the oven and envelop the rabbit with their powerful taste. A layer of onion rings gives the rabbit that certain something.
