Rub the rabbit pieces with the garlic. Place them in a 9- by 13-inch pan and sprinkle them with the rosemary and pepper. Pour the oil over the rabbit pieces and marinate for 4 hours, turning the pieces every half hour. Grill the rabbit over mesquite charcoal for 30 minutes, or until juices run clear.
