    Can I marinate rabbit and roast it?
    Community Answer
    Of course you can. Cut the rabbit in pieces, marinate in wine, garlic, honey and spices to your liking. Cover and leave in fridge over night. In a large oven dish cover the bottom with slices of onion and place rabbit on top, cover with tin foil and roast for 1 hour and 15 minutes. You can uncover it for the last 15 minutes.
