BBQ rabbit

Ingredients

2 young tender rabbits, jointed  6 tablespoons Soy Sauce
4 tablespoons lemon juice
4 tablespoons honey
2 teaspoon sesame oil
1 teaspoon hot chilli sauce (may be adjusted to taste)
Handful fresh coriander, roughly chopped

Marinade

Mix all ingredients, except the rabbit, in strong plastic bag or vacuum container.

Method

Cut the rabbits’ saddle to portion size pieces. 

Place the rabbit into the container with the marinade, remove all the air (with the aid of a drinking straw if using a plastic bag or vacuum machine).  Seal and place in the fridge for 24 hours or minimum overnight. 

Cook over a well prepared fire basting with the marinade.

Serve with fresh salad and crusty bread.

Note.  To increase the flavour or to intensify the chilli kick, place the cooked rabbit in a metal container with a lid.  Add the remaining marinade and place on the cool side of the BBQ and allow to steam.  This method also improves an older tougher rabbit.

Enjoy!
