Step 1
Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Spread the thinly sliced onions evenly across the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish. Rub the rabbit all over with lemon juice and olive oil, then sprinkle it inside and out with a mix of rosemary, parsley, and cumin. Place the rabbit on top of the onions in the baking dish. Pop it into the oven and bake for about 30 minutes. After that, scatter the almonds over the onions and keep baking until the rabbit meat turns opaque and is cooked through, which should take another 15 minutes or so.
