Prep 10 min Cook 17 min Serves 3 Easy

Ingredients

  • Saltto taste
  • Garlic4 cloves, minced
  • Dried Red Chilies3
  • Bell Pepper1, sliced
  • Tomato Sauce2 tbsp
  • Olive Oil2 tbsp
  • Spring Onions3, cut into batons
  • Smoked Paprika1 tsp
  • Rabbit600 g, pieces

Optional extras

  • Fresh Parsleyhandful, to finish

Instructions

  1. 1

    Warm the olive oil in a wide paella pan or heavy skillet over medium heat until it flows easily.

  2. 2

    Sear the Rabbit until golden on all sides, then push it to the edges of the pan.

  3. 3

    Soften Garlic in the middle of the pan, adding Smoked Paprika after a few minutes, building a sofrito — low and slow, five full minutes.

  4. 4

    Season with paprika and salt and stir for thirty seconds so the paprika blooms without scorching.

  5. 5

    Add the liquid, bring to a confident simmer, and let everything cook until the Rabbit is done and the sauce has thickened and glossed.

  6. 6

    Rest off the heat for five minutes, finish with lemon wedges and parsley, and serve from the pan.

Chef's tip

Let the dish rest 5 minutes off the heat before serving so the flavours settle.
