Chef Hubert's Grilled Rabbit Saddle Skewers with Riesling, Mushrooms & Rosemary

Ingredients for 4
  • 4 saddles of young rabbit (or regular rabbit)
  • 1 small bunch fresh rosemary
  • 1 glass Riesling wine
  • 3 tablespoons old-fashioned mustard
  • 20 button mushrooms
  • 10 thin slices of ham
  • 2 tablespoons sunflower oil
  • 2 tablespoons cream
  • Salt and ground pepper, to taste
Preparation
  • Marinating time: 3 hours
  • Preparation time: 20 minutes

Bone the rabbit saddles to extract the fillets.

Lay the fillets flat on a work surface, score the flesh on each side, season with salt and pepper, then brush with a mixture of mustard and cream. Roll up the fillets tightly.

Cut each roll into 4 or 5 pieces. Thread onto wooden skewers, alternating with mushrooms and ham slices. Arrange on a dish, drizzle with Riesling, sprinkle with chopped rosemary, and marinate in the fridge for 3 hours.

Drain the skewers and brush with sunflower oil. Grill over medium heat for 3-4 minutes per side, depending on the size of the rabbit noisettes.

Strain the marinade, reduce by half in a sauté pan, then whisk in butter pieces over low heat to create a silky sauce. Season to taste.

Serve the sauce in a gravy boat alongside the skewers. Pair with boiled potatoes.
