GRILLED GARLIC RABBIT

Grilled Garlic Rabbit image

Rabbit and garlic-a very different take on your classic grilling option. Always a great conversation starter, these bunnies will make your mouth water! We use rabbits that were hunted in the great Southwest desert during rabbit season. However, a lot of local stores sell rabbit as well. The 'wild hares' here are smaller and leaner than their supermarket counterparts, so I use two smaller rabbits and adjust the cook time during rabbit season or one large rabbit in the off time.

Time 2h30m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 2

Ingredients

1 (3 pound) rabbit, cleaned and cut into pieces
1 cup salt-free garlic marinade (such as Mrs Dash®)

Steps:

Wash and pat dry the rabbit pieces; place into a large resealable plastic bag. Pour in marinade and seal the bag. Turn the bag over several times to coat rabbit with marinade and allow to marinate in refrigerator 2 to 8 hours or overnight, turning occasionally.
Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat and lightly oil the grate. Reduce to low. Remove rabbit from marinade and shake off excess liquid; discard the used marinade.
Lay the rabbit pieces onto lower rack of grill. Grill until the rabbit shows good grill marks, the meat is no longer pink inside, and the juices run clear, 12 to 15 minutes per side. An instant-read meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of a piece should read at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C).

HONEY GARLIC GRILLED RABBIT RECIPE - (3.9/5)

Honey Garlic Grilled Rabbit Recipe - (3.9/5) image

Provided by á-29897

Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
Zest and juice of 1 lemon
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon fine sea salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
2 tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh rosemary
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh thyme
1 (3-pound) rabbit, cut into 6 or 8 pieces
1 bunch curly purple kale, tough stems and ribs removed

Steps:

In a large bowl, whisk together oil, lemon zest and juice, garlic, salt and pepper. Remove 1/3 cup of the mixture, cover and refrigerate. Whisk honey, rosemary and thyme into remaining lemon-oil mixture. Add rabbit, turn to coat, cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight. Prepare a grill for medium heat cooking. Remove rabbit from marinade; discard excess marinade. Place rabbit on the grill and cook, turning the pieces occasionally and moving them if the fire flares up, until browned and cooked through, about 12 minutes for small pieces and 20 to 22 minutes for larger pieces. Transfer to a plate and keep warm. Meanwhile, place reserved lemon-oil mixture in a very large bowl. Add kale and gently toss until all leaves are coated. When rabbit is done, place kale leaves in a single layer on the grill. Cook until leaves begin to brown and crisp on the edges, 1 to 2 minutes. Turn leaves and cook other sides until browned and crisped, 1 to 2 minutes more. Slice kale, place on a platter and top with rabbit.

Tips:

To ensure the rabbit meat is tender, marinate it for at least 30 minutes before cooking. Marinades can include olive oil, garlic, herbs, and spices.
When grilling the rabbit, cook it over medium heat to prevent burning. Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) before removing from the grill.
To add flavor and moisture to the rabbit, baste it with the marinade or a mixture of melted butter and herbs while grilling.
For a crispy skin, pat the rabbit dry before grilling and brush it with olive oil. You can also score the skin with a sharp knife to help the marinade penetrate.
If you are using a charcoal grill, add wood chips or chunks to the coals to infuse the rabbit with a smoky flavor.
Serve the grilled rabbit with a variety of sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a salad.

Conclusion:

Grilled rabbit is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for lunch or dinner. By following these tips, you can create a flavorful and tender rabbit that is sure to impress your family and friends. Experiment with different marinades and sides to find your favorite combination.
