Rabbit with garlic

April 30, 2024

This recipe for rabbit with garlic is originally from Spain and was caused by the high consumption of rabbit and the high abundance of garlic. There are two theories, one that it originally comes from Castilla-La Mancha and the other from Andalusia.

Rabbit with garlic has become a very representative dish of Spanish cuisine and there are also many variants of its preparation.

I usually cook this recipe when the whole family comes to eat, it is ideal for any event, a holiday, or any celebration. In the video of the recipe, I add a little chicken to complement it, as my daughter-in-law does not like rabbit and chicken is also a very good combination. In this type of recipe, one of the ‘secrets’ lies in the mince, read on and I will explain how.

How to make rabbit with garlic

First peel the garlic cloves. Then we crush it together with the almonds and hazelnuts and reserve it for later.
Roast the rabbit in a casserole. We also add the rabbit liver and turn it so that it browns. Then add salt.
Place two whole heads of garlic.
Set the liver aside and grind it together with the almonds, hazelnuts and the four garlic cloves we made earlier.
Separate the rabbit on the sides, leaving the centre free to fry the spoonful of flour.
When the flour is toasted, add the wine and then the mince we made earlier, with a glass of water and salt.
Stir everything together and taste for salt.
Cover and simmer for an hour and will be ready to serve.
