In Portugal, there is a hunting culture and the wild rabbit from Porto Santo (and Madeira, in general) has a characteristic flavor, attributed to the natural conditions of the island, such as the sea air. The wild rabbit gives special characteristics to the dish, but this Porto Santo-style rabbit recipe best reproduces the original flavor.
