Recipe by chef Manto Iliopoulou, Food Service Professionals Workshop 2017
Method
Rub all rabbit pieces with the lemon juice, salt and pepper. Heat the olive oil in a pan and sauté the rabbit until it is browned. Add the garlic and 1 minute later the grated tomato. Add the rest of the ingredients (apart from the sfela cheese and the breadcrumbs) and enough water to cover the rabbit. Cook for about 1 hour. When the meat is ready, add the sfela cheese, boil for a couple of more minutes and remove from heat. Add the breadcrumbs and stir until the sauce thickens. Serve with fried potatoes.
