Cabidela is also known as arroz de cabidela is a Portuguese dish made with rabbit or chicken. Once the rabbit or chicken is killed, it is hung upside-down, so blood drains out. It is an excellent dish to serve at lunch and dinner. The rice is steamed with meat and the blood of the chicken turns the dish color grey. This is a pet dish of Macau as well.
