In a Greek recipe, when a dish is described as “lemonato,” it means that the main ingredient (such as meat or chicken) is cooked in a sauce made primarily with lemon juice, giving the dish a tangy, citrusy flavor. It often includes olive oil, garlic, and herbs like oregano, and the sauce may be thickened slightly as it simmers.
Ingredients:
- 1 rabbit, cut into portions
- 3-4 garlic cloves, finely chopped
- 1 onion, finely chopped
- Juice of 2 lemons
- 200g chicken broth or water
- Salt
- Pepper
- Oregano
- Olive oil
Instructions:
- Heat olive oil in a pot and sauté the rabbit pieces on both sides until they are nicely browned.
- Add the onion and garlic, continuing to sauté for 1-2 minutes, being careful not to burn the garlic to avoid bitterness.
- Add the lemon juice, salt, pepper, and oregano, and sauté everything together for another 2 minutes.
- Finally, add the water, lower the heat, and simmer until the rabbit becomes tender.
- Carefully turn the rabbit pieces to avoid breaking them, adding a bit more water if needed during cooking.
