Name: Roasted Bacon-Wrapped Rabbit
Prep time: 15 min
Cook time: 30 min
Total time: 45 min
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: 1 (2 1/2-to-3 pound) rabbit, cut into 8 to 10 pieces (see note); 1/2 cup sherry vinegar; 1 tablespoon kosher salt; 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper; 1 teaspoon fennel seeds, crushed; 1 teaspoon coriander seeds, crushed; 2 bay leaves, broken into flakes; 4 branches fresh thyme; 4 to 6 cloves garlic, crushed; 8 to 10 slices (1/2 to 3/4 pound) thinly sliced bacon

Servings: persons

1
Put everything except the bacon in a sealable plastic bag.
2
Seal the bag, shake to distribute the seasonings and refrigerate for 8 to 24 hours.
3
Thirty minutes before dinner, preheat the oven to 450 degrees.
4
Quickly rinse the spices off the rabbit with cold water.
5
Blot the pieces completely dry with paper towels, then blot the bacon dry.
6
Wrap each rabbit piece in a slice of bacon and place them seam-side down on a rimmed baking sheet or in a shallow roasting pan or a large ovenproof skillet.
7
(The flat pieces below the rabbits ribs, known as the flap, can be rolled up and then wrapped.)
8
Roast until the bacon crisps and the rabbit is no longer pink, 25 to 30 minutes.
9
It is impossible to imagine this as anything other than finger food (maybe with some roasted potatoes).
