This recipe comes from Colombia in South America. Rabbit meat is very
low in fat and can be dry tasting, so it marries well with coconut
cream. It is best to cook the rabbit gently till it is falling off
the bone.
Chop a rabbit into serving pieces. Chop finely one large onion and 2
cloves of garlic. Seed and slice a large green capsicum, half a
large red capsicum and finely slice 3 birdseye chillies (decrease the
quantity and discard the seeds if you can't cope with too much chilli
heat). Peel and chop a large tomato and have ready 400 ml strong veal
or chicken stock and
150 ml coconut cream.
Heat a little oil in a frying pan and brown the rabbit pieces.
Transfer them to a large saucepan. In the remaining oil in the
frying pan, saute the onions, capsicums and chillies. Add to the
saucepan with the tomato, salt and pepper to taste, and the stock.
Bring just to simmering point, cover and cook very gently for about 2
hours or even more. Lift the rabbit pieces out onto a dish and turn
the heat up high under the saucepan. Reduce the liquid in the
saucepan by about half.
Lower the heat and stir in the coconut cream. Return the rabbit
pieces and cook gently, stirring, for a few minutes. Serve with rice.
(Serves 4)

The History of Recipes
Recipes as a concept can be traced way back into distant history, at least as far back into history as early Egypt, and possibly even further than that. Interesting though that maybe, mostly, these old recipes were just very basic pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing meals.
Progressing into The time of the romans 25BC a man called Apicius assembled a number of scripts showing how to cook the recipes enjoyed by his fellow Romans. In his scrolls, he recounts how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into appetizers, main meal and dessert, something we still use today. Additionally, he tells us how the cooks of his times made use of many different aromatic flavors, including a few that are still present in modern kitchens for example basil, fennel and asafoetida. Over the following few centuries, the powerful families of Wesstern Europe strove to serve up the most extravagent banquests, and as a consequence, the best chefs and their recipes were much in demand. Even so, it was during the 19th century that haute cuisine and recipe collections became really popular. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the US, dedicated years of their lives to collating, trying out, and recording recipes common in their social group. The introduction of television brought us TV chefs and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. Which pretty much brings us up to date and the invention of computers and the internet, allowing everyone to search through thousands of recipes like those on sites such as the one you are reading now. |
