Grilled Lemon-Rosemary Rabbit Skewers

Grilled Lemon-Rosemary Rabbit Skewers:Ingredients:

• 2 lbs rabbit meat, cut into cubes
• 1/4 cup olive oil
• Zest and juice of 1 lemon
• 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, chopped
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Wooden skewers, soaked in water

1. Prepare the Marinade:
   • In a bowl, combine olive oil, lemon zest, lemon juice, chopped rosemary, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Whisk the ingredients together until well combined.
2. Marinate the Rabbit:
   • Place the rabbit cubes in a large, shallow dish or a resealable plastic bag.
   • Pour the marinade over the rabbit, ensuring that each piece is well-coated. Massage the marinade into the meat.
   • Cover the dish or seal the bag and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to infuse.
3. Preheat the Grill:
   • Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If you're using wooden skewers, make sure to soak them in water for about 30 minutes to prevent burning.
4. Skewer the Rabbit:
   • Thread the marinated rabbit cubes onto the soaked skewers, leaving a small space between each piece for even cooking.
5. Grill the Skewers:
   • Place the rabbit skewers on the preheated grill.
   • Grill for about 10-15 minutes, turning the skewers occasionally to ensure even cooking. Baste the rabbit with any leftover marinade during grilling.
6. Check for Doneness:
   • The rabbit is done when it reaches an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C) and is no longer pink in the center.
7. Serve:
   • Remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes.
   • Serve the grilled rabbit skewers with your favorite side dishes or a simple green salad.
8. Garnish (Optional):
   • Garnish with additional fresh rosemary and a wedge of lemon for a burst of flavor.
