Grilled rabbit with sage and lemon

Today I bring you a recipe that we have prepared a couple of times at home this summer. It is a very simple recipe but with guaranteed success: marinated and roasted rabbit, accompanied by zucchini.

The marinade is prepared based on sage and lemon, and the roast is done on the grill. For all this, it results in a light and fresh recipe, perfect for hot days (or the days that we want to behave well!).

For the roast I recommend using an iron grill : they get very hot and seal the meat without equal. As for the presentation of the dish, a good option is to make some delicious skewers... You will see that they will fly on the table!

Ingredients (For 6 people)

• 3 zucchini
• 750g of rabbit fillets

For the marinade:

• 1 lemon
• 2 garlic cloves
• 4 sprigs of fresh sage
• 100 ml of olive oil
• 80ml lemon
• Olive oil
• freshly ground pepper
• Salt

Le Creuset square grill with folding handle

Preparation

Prepare the marinade:

1. Wash and peel the lemon and soften its peel in boiling water for 2 minutes. After that time, we put it in very cold water (you can put a bowl with cold water and cubes).
2. Next, finely chop the lemon peel, the garlic and the leaves of two sprigs of sage.
3. Add the olive oil , season to taste with salt and pepper.

We marinated the rabbit and zucchini:

1. Cut the zucchini into thin slices with the help of a mandolin .
2. Next we put the rabbit pieces in a bowl and the zucchini slices in another.
3. We distribute the marinade between the two bowls and marinate for 2 hours.

We make the roast:

1. We heat the iron grill over medium heat.
2. We prick the rabbit with skewers. If wooden skewers are used, they should be soaked for an hour in water before use to prevent charring or burning.
3. Cook the rabbit meat for 5 or 6 minutes on each side.
4. We roast the zucchini on the same grill, in a few minutes it will be ready.
5. Arrange the rabbit accompanied by the zucchini on the plates and we can use the marinade and lemon zest to decorate.

NOTE: It is a recipe that you can make perfectly on a barbecue if you have one.
