For an extra layer of flavor, marinate the rabbit in the lemon juice, olive oil, and herb mixture for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight, in the refrigerator. To toast the slivered almonds, spread them in a single layer on a baking sheet and bake in a 350°F (175°C) oven for 5-7 minutes, or until lightly golden and fragrant. Watch them carefully to prevent burning. Serve the Rosemary Rabbit with roasted vegetables, such as carrots, potatoes, or parsnips, to complement the flavors of the dish. A dry white wine, such as Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Grigio, pairs beautifully with this dish.
