Conejo en salmorejo

Tenerife’s festive dish: rabbit marinated with garlic, chilli, thyme, paprika and wine, fried and then stewed in its marinade, served with wrinkled potatoes.

  • Serves 4
  • 12 h

Ingredients

  • 1 rabbit, cut into pieces
  • 1 head of garlic
  • 1 chilli or picona pepper
  • 1 tablespoon of paprika
  • Thyme, oregano and bay leaf
  • 250 ml white wine and 100 ml vinegar
  • Olive oil and salt

How to make it at home

  1. Pound the garlic with the chilli, salt, paprika and herbs, and mix with the wine and vinegar.
  2. Cover the rabbit with the marinade and leave it in the fridge overnight.
  3. Drain, pat dry and fry it in oil until golden.
  4. Add the strained marinade and simmer, covered, over a low heat for 30 minutes, until the sauce reduces.

The trick: The longer in the marinade, the better: many families leave it overnight.

Where and what to eat

To eat like a local: the neighbourhood taberna. The dishes you can’t miss are in the Spain guide.
