Would this recipe work baked in the oven?
I marinated for 5 hours, trimmed the flanges from 3 saddles of rabbit skewered them accordion style,(they took a bit longer to cook 2 minutes more than the rabbit).We had our gas grill on high and cooked the rabbit loins 3-4 minutes each side. We sprinkled a little garlic on too. It was wonderful! Served with skewered garden fresh okra, marinated with a lemon olive oil mixture S&P, grilled for 20 min. made tahini sauce, no parsley, added a little extra water to allow for drizzling grilled okra.
Ms. Hodgson's recipe's could stand a tad more detail.
