GRILLED GARLIC RABBIT

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

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

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:

  • Choose the right rabbit: Select a young rabbit, about 2-3 pounds, for the most tender meat.
  • Marinate the rabbit: Marinating the rabbit in a flavorful mixture of herbs, spices, and liquids helps tenderize the meat and infuse it with flavor. You can use a variety of marinades, such as a simple olive oil and garlic marinade, a tangy yogurt and lemon marinade, or a flavorful red wine marinade.
  • Cook the rabbit over medium heat: Cooking the rabbit over medium heat helps prevent the meat from drying out and becoming tough.
  • Baste the rabbit frequently: Basting the rabbit with the marinade or a mixture of melted butter and herbs helps keep the meat moist and flavorful.
  • Cook the rabbit until it is cooked through: Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the internal temperature of the rabbit reaches 165°F (74°C).
  • Let the rabbit rest before serving: Letting the rabbit rest for a few minutes before serving allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful dish.

Conclusion:

Grilled garlic rabbit is a delicious and flavorful dish that is sure to impress your family and friends. With its tender meat and crispy skin, this dish is perfect for a special occasion or a weeknight meal. By following these tips, you can easily create a delicious grilled garlic rabbit that everyone will love.
