Conejo en salmorejo

Conejo en salmorejo (rabbit in Canarian marinade) is a meat dish from the Canary Islands. The main ingredient is rabbit meat that is marinated, then sautéed and finally cooked in the marinade until done.

In addition to the meat the rabbit's liver is often used as well. Base of the marinade are white wine (usually dry), olive oil and often vinegar that are mixed with garlic, bayleaf, bell peppers and thyme. Additional ingredients are used according to personal taste. As side dishes, usually papas arrugadas are served, unskinned small potatoes that are cooked in salty water. Alternative side dishes like rice, bread or french fries are not uncommon.
