If you want to cook an original version of meat over coals and surprise your guests, you will need a recipe for an incredibly tasty rabbit kebab in mayonnaise. There are a huge number of kebab recipes. To make it tasty and juicy, you need to select the appropriate marinade.
Shish kebab should be grilled over the coals of fruit trees, especially cherry or apricot. While the wood is burning in the grill, cut the rabbit carcasses into small pieces and thread them onto skewers. Experts do not recommend using vinegar in marinade; it kills the natural taste of meat, and wine adds neither taste nor aroma.

Everyone knows that rabbits “are not only valuable fur...” Nutritionists around the world have long sung the praises of rabbit meat for its easily digestible protein, which is also hypoallergenic. And if you cook rabbit meat not in a frying pan with oil, but on the grill, you will get the perfect meat dish. The only disadvantage of this type of meat is a slight dryness. However, this can be avoided if you know how to properly marinate rabbit kebab, which I will tell you about in my recipe. Make this most delicious marinade to keep the meat tender. If you decide to just cook a rabbit, take a look. 
- rabbit meat – 400 gr.,

How to cook with photos step by step
1. As I already said, rabbit meat is quite dry. Therefore, vinegar marinade is not suitable for it. I cook rabbit kebab in a kefir or mineral water marinade. But it is better to combine both components, and tan is best suited for this - it is a fermented milk drink that is also carbonated. Mix a glass of tan with the barbecue seasoning mixture. Season the rabbit meat with garlic. Leave for 5 minutes. It is better to use rabbit meat that is moderately fatty; fleshy thighs are best suited for barbecue. Cut the pulp into medium-sized pieces - 3-4 pieces come out of one leg. 
2. Marinate the meat in a tan for about 12 hours. As usual, it is better to put the kebab under pressure in the refrigerator overnight. 
3. Thread the meat onto skewers, alternating with vegetables. To make the kebab softer and juicier, cherry tomatoes are best. When baked, they will release their juices to the meat, and it will not dry out. Onions are also good - fresh, not pickled. I think you'll like this one too

Grilled rabbit - a meat dish for real gourmets
In spring and summer, everyone happily heads to the forest or to the sea to relax and enjoy a delicious barbecue. Any man probably has his own signature recipes, but it’s never too late to learn something new, especially when it comes to food.
So, if you are tired of the standard banal meat or chicken kebabs, then it’s time to try cooking almost delicious rabbit meat. This incredibly simple recipe will please you and all your guests. Grilled rabbit is easy to prepare, and you can cook it in several ways: by dividing the carcass into pieces using a barbecue grill or whole on a spit. We will look at both of these cooking methods.
Rabbit on the barbecue grill
To prepare a butchered rabbit, you will need the following ingredients:
- carcass – 1 pc.;
- onions - 4-5 medium heads;
- mineral water – 800 ml;
- barbecue spices – 1 pack;
- pepper, salt - to taste.
Let's look at the step-by-step cooking recipe:
- Cut the carcass into medium-sized pieces.
- After this, they need to be rinsed well, placed in a bowl of water, and left to stand for about 4-5 hours in the water.
- Peeled onions need to be cut into half rings, as thin as possible - this will help the meat to be better saturated with taste and aroma.
- Place the meat in a saucepan, cover with onions and add spices. After this, simply pepper, salt the rabbit and add mineral water to it. Mix. Place the workpiece to marinate in the refrigerator for 5-6 hours (it is better to let it stand overnight).
- Place the pieces on the grill grate, having previously greased it with oil so that it does not stick.
- There is nothing special about frying - it is fried like regular pork or lamb. Don't forget to turn over periodically. The dish takes about 20-30 minutes to prepare.
Whole rabbit on spit
You can also cook a rabbit without cutting up the carcass. Such a rabbit on the grill will look much more festive on your table. So, prepare the following ingredients:
- carcass – 1 pc.;
- onions – 3 pcs.;
- pork lard – 150 g;
- any vegetable oil – 50 g;
- garlic - several heads;
- dry white wine – 150 ml;
- thyme – 1 tsp;
- chopped bay leaf – 1 tsp;
- butter – 55 g;
- pepper, salt, spices - to taste.
How to cook a whole rabbit:
- Rinse and dry the carcass.
- Pork lard must be cut into thin strips, and then stuffed into the carcass.
- Peel the onions and finely chop.
- Place the carcass in a bowl, add chopped onion, thyme, spices, bay leaf. Then pour olive or sunflower oil over the meat, salt and pepper. To marinate, it needs to stand in the refrigerator for about 6 hours.
- The rabbit is placed on a spit and placed over the grill so that it is entirely above the coals. First, it is fried for about 10 minutes, after which chopped garlic is added to the marinade and the marinade is poured on top. After this, you need to bake the rabbit for another 40 minutes.
- After you remove the rabbit from the spit, brush it with butter, sprinkle with herbs and serve.
Incredibly juicy dietary rabbit meat can be given even to children. You are unlikely to gain weight from this dish, and besides, it is simply incredibly tasty.
Kebabs are always delicious, and for anyone who hasn’t tried cooking with rabbit yet, I recommend it! Rabbit kebab can be prepared by marinating the meat in tomato or mayonnaise marinade. I prefer to marinate meat in tomato marinade with onions.
To prepare tomato marinade for rabbit kebab, take homemade ketchup; if you don’t have that, use fresh tomatoes or tomato paste (dilute a couple of spoons in 0.5 liters of water). To make the meat soft, I advise you to soak it in cold water for a couple of hours.
Prepare the products according to the list.
We wash the rabbit carcass under running water. We cut off the hind legs first, cutting along the joint.
Cut the carcass in half into 2 parts.
Cut the lower part of the carcass into 4 parts.
From the top of the carcass we cut off the front legs with shoulder blades.
We do this with the remaining top carcass: cut off the neck, divide the rest into 4 equal parts, cutting along the ridge and breast.
Place all parts of meat in a saucepan. Cut the onion into rings, add onion, salt and seasoning to the meat.
Add ketchup and vinegar and mix well. Leave to marinate in the refrigerator for at least 5 hours, I left it overnight.
We string the meat onto sticks along the bone so that the rabbit is better fried.
Fry on the grill until done. Turn over every 4-5 minutes and pour over the ketchup in which the meat was marinated, diluting it in half with water.
Our rabbit kebab is ready. Bon appetit!
