Sri Lankan recipes and Sri Lankan food
About Sri Lankan Food
Sri Lanka, the beautiful spice island once known as Ceylon, is a rich melting pot of cuisines. It seems every nationality that has visited and traded over the years has left a mark on the cuisine - the Dutch, Portuguese, English, Arabs, Malays, Moors and Indians.
With a tropical climate, fresh fruit, vegetables and spices are in abundance and used in many ways. Freshness is the key to the food with households regularly shopping more than once a day for produce.

Hot Tips
Marinating rabbit
Rabbit, a Maltese favourite, benefits from being marinated before cooking. Marinate the rabbit in a mixture of wine, bay leaf and salt and pepper; cover and leave in the fridge overnight. This will ensure a moist and flavourful rabbit dish, whatever the end preparation.
Glossary
Dried Prawns
Known as camarao seco in Brazilian cooking. Tinely blended to a powder or soaked and ground, these tiny sun-dried prawns add a great depth of flavour to Bahian dishes such as xinxim de galinha.
