Ingredients
- ¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
- ¼ cup dry white wine
- Four thick rosemary sprigs (about 8 inches long)--leaves stripped and coarsely chopped, stems reserved
- 1½ pounds skinless, boneless rabbit or chicken thighs, cut into 1½-inch cubes
- 4 ounces pancetta, thinly sliced and cut into 1-inch squares
- 8 jarred artichoke hearts, drained
- 4 fresh or dried bay leaves
- Salt and freshly ground pepper
- Lemon wedges, for serving
Directions
- In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, white wine and rosemary leaves. Add the rabbit and toss well to coat. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or up to overnight.
- Light a grill or preheat a grill pan over medium-high heat. Shaking off the excess marinade, thread the rabbit onto the rosemary stems, alternating occasionally with the pancetta, artichokes and bay leaves.
- Season the spiedini with salt and pepper. Grill over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until the pancetta is crisp and the rabbit is just white throughout but still moist, about 6 minutes. Transfer the spiedini to plates and let rest for 2 minutes.
- Drizzle with olive oil and serve with lemon wedges. Suggested sides include roasted fingerling potatoes and wild arugula, or a chicory salad with pomegranate seeds.
