THE RABBIT AND THE CHOCOLATE

• Clean the fresh red prawns from their long whiskers, let them dry, add salt to them.

• And coat in wheat flour


• Fry them in the saucepan in the same oil we did the rabbit, after 1 minute maximum, take them away and reserve.

• Now, add the chopped onions and the garlic and start a sofrito


• Once the onion is transparent, add the tomatoes which have been previously converted into sauce, add a pynch of salt and stir for a while at medium/low fire until you get

• This oily and darker texture


• Meanwhile prepare the dressing with the garlic, some salt, the spring of parsley, the chocolate and smash it all together

• Until you get an homogeneous texture.


• Add the rabbit back to the casserole and stir so that all ingredients get mixed. Drop a spurt of good brandy on top, stir and after 5 minutes

• Add 1 ½ glass of water, the red hot chily powder, the oregano, the bay leaf, and a pynch of salt. Let it boil (gentle boil) for a while until the rabbit meat is tender.


• This is the way it should look (more or less).

• When the meat is tender is time to add the chocolate dressing, use some of the stock of the saucepan to dilute the chocolate and add it to the rabbit pan. The heat should be low.


• The colour of the saucepan stock will change into a beautiful brown.

• Add the prawns back to the casserole and let it cook at low fire for 10 minutes, stirring now and then.


• Serve hot.

• I can not give credit of how marvellous this dish turned out to be… I just love the taste!!!

• If you are not much into eating rabbits, you can try the same recipe with any poultry or wild hunted birds.
