Grilled Rabbit     

Ingredients:
Olive oil
4 minced garlic cloves
2 sprigs chopped rosemary
Dash of salt
Dash of pepper
Handful of fresh thyme leaves
Handful of fresh rosemary leaves
4 peeled garlic cloves
Zest and juice of 1 lemon
1 tsp. honey
kale leaves

Preparation:
Cut up your rabbit into eight total pieces; four legs, two loin pieces and two rib pieces. Place all of the pieces into a bowl and add 1/4 cup of olive oil. Rub the oil into the rabbit to evenly coat it.

Combine minced garlic, salt, pepper and chopped rosemary in a large resealable baggie or bowl. Toss the rabbit pieces with the spices until they are completely covered with the mixture. Seal the bag or bowl and place the rabbit in the refrigerator to marinate for at least two hours.

Remove the rabbit pieces from the marinade and allow them to come to room temperature.

Preheat your grill to medium high.

Mash rosemary leaves, garlic, 8 tbsp. of olive oil, lemon zest, lemon juice and honey in a liquidizer or with a mortar and pestle until it turns to a pulp. Brush this marinade onto all sides of your rabbit pieces.

Lay kale leaves on grill, position the rabbit pieces on the kale and baste with the marinade again. Cook for about 8 minutes.

Turn the rabbit pieces over and baste again. Cook for an additional 6-8 minutes.
