Rabbit reminds me of Greece, of vacations to Crete where both of my parents are from. It’s a popular Mediterranean dish and is most commonly prepared fried or in a tomato based stew “stifado” with pearl onions, vinegar and red wine. The following recipe is quick and easy, a great way to try cooking rabbit for the first time.

For the Marinade:

• Juice of one lemon
• 2 Tbsp Olive oil
• 1/2 tsp Smoked paprika
• 2 Cloves of minced garlic
• 1 tsp Salt
• 1/2 tsp Black pepper
• 1 tsp Oregano

Preparation:

1. Chop the rabbit into palm size pieces
2. Marinade for at least 2 hours
3. Pan-fry in a cast-iron skillet until the internal temperature reaches 160 degrees F.
