Equipment
- 1 pan
- 1 knife
- 1 grater
- 1 Wooden Spoon
- 1 jiko/ charcoal stove or grill
- 1 chopping board
Ingredients
- 1 Whole Rabbit Meat
- 1 Large Onion
- 2 Large Grated Tomatoes
- 2 Cloves Finely Grated Fresh Garlic
- Finely Grated Ginger- Same amount as Garlic
- ¾ tsp Salt
- Spices of Choice (I used 1 tsp paprika, ½ tsp each of curry powder, beef masala & garam masala)
- 1 Small Green Bell Pepper
- 3 tbsps Celantro and, or, Spring Onion
- 7 tbsps Cooking Oil to Fry
Optional
- ½ tsp Turmeric Powder
Instructions
- Step OneBegin by thoroughly cleaning the rabbit to get rid of any dirt or inner fluidLightly roast the rabbit’s surface on a well-lighted jiko or charcoal stove. Alternatively, in the absence of a charcoal stove, you can cut it up into large chunks and lightly grill on your grill.Ensure to lightly grill both sides of the chunks to a light golden color. Don't burn.Lightly roasting or grilling the meat will enhance its taste once it is done.
- Step TwoIf you are using a jiko or charcoal stove as I’m doing, transfer the rabbit meat to a suitable chopping board and cut it up into desired sizeable chunks or pieces.Transfer the pieces back to your charcoal jiko and let them lightly roast once again. This is to ensure that the inner surface that didn’t get to roast can also get lightly roasted.
- Step ThreeClean the pieces with clean water once again to get rid of any charcoal or ash debris. Set aside.
- Step FourIn a suitable pan, fry the onion in the salad oil to a light golden color.Add the garlic and ginger and fry to a golden color.Add the tomato and stir evenly. Cover, slightly lower the heat and allow the mixture to simmer for 2 minutes to allow the tomatoes to soften.Stir the mixture. The tomatoes will break down further as you stir to form a kind of puree. Add the salt and spices and allow the mixture to cook for another minute covered and on low heat too.Add the rabbit meat pieces. Stir, bring the fire back up to medium heat and cover. Stir occasionally, covering each time until all the water in the rabbit is gone.
- Step FiveAdd about 2 to 3 cups of water and bring the entire mixture to a boil on high heat. Lower the heat back to medium and allow the rabbit meat to cook for 25 to 40 minutes or until tender. The rabbit I worked with was somewhat mature. It took longer, about 40 minutes. In case you would like your rabbit meat soupier and you can see that very little water is left from the cooking, add a little more water, and allow a few minutes for everything to blend together well. Because it is wet fry though, we made do with our delicious rabbit meat as it was.
- Step SixFinally, evenly stir in the green pepper, spring onion as well as cilantro/dhania. Switch off the heat, and cover for a minute so that the greens can get tender from the steam. Your rabbit meat wet fry is ready!Enjoy with a suitable accompaniment.
