Despite the name, there is no rabbit in this dish. This dish is from Salamanca, where the lack of meat or chorizo in the area was compensated by herbs, garlic and especially pimentón(paprika). The dish's name is something of a joke. When first time eaters invariably ask, 'Where's the rabbit?', the cook replies, 'In the mountain!' There is no better way to appreciate the full color, flavor and aroma of pimentón.
