rabbit, pancetta and green olive skewers
spiedini al coniglio e pancetta
4 servings
Ask your butcher to bone rabbit for you. If rabbit is unavailable, 1¼ pounds boneless, skinless chicken breast can be substituted. Cooking time will not change.
Ingredients
- ¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary leaves
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 (2¾-pound) rabbit, boned and cut into 1½-inch pieces
- 12 ounces thick-cut pancetta or slab bacon, cut into 1½-inch pieces
- 16 green olives, pitted
Instructions
In a large bowl stir together oil, garlic, rosemary and salt. Add rabbit and stir well to coat. Marinate, chilled, at least 1 hour.
Prepare a charcoal grill for direct-heat cooking over hot charcoal (high heat for gas).
Alternately thread rabbit, pancetta and olives onto 8 skewers. Grill skewers, turning once, until rabbit is cooked through, about 6 minutes.
