Jungle Rabbit Two Ways

I’ve never been a great fan of rabbit. Thoughts of fluffy bunnies get in the way, but I shouldn’t be so sentimental. Rabbit meat is very healthy, tastes incredible, and your local butcher will happily chop it into thighs and leg, belly and saddle, liver and kidney. Jamie Oliver has cooked me some delicious rabbit dishes — rabbit in risotto, rabbit on toast — but my favourite by far is a marinated rabbit barbecued on tiny wooden skewers. He first made it for me one evening with borlotti beans and glugs of extra virgin olive oil. We ate alfresco and toasted the sinking sun with a glass of lovely Galatrona wine.
