Looking for recipes for Racoon

[No Grease]

I have looked within the fifteen pages of recipes and have not seen one, might be a hidden gem in there somewhere. Needless to say who out there has a good recipe?

[trent/OH]

Older versions of the Betty Crocker Cookbook didn't bother with political correctness, so it had all kinds of game recipes, including raccoon, opossum, muskrat, porcupine, maybe even snake and gator. A back issue from even the 1980's should satisfy your needs.

"Baked that possum to a golden brown
Then laid them sweet p'tatas all around
Saying come on Blue,
You can have some too."

--Burl Ives

I know, not raccoon ...

From "Camping" by Horace Kephart 1917

"Remove the Kernals (scent glands) from under each of the front legs and on either side of the spine in the small of the back.
Parboil in 1-2 waters depending on age, stuff like a turkey, if you have tart apple add to the stuffing, bake till golden brown and serve with sweet potato."

aside; the stuffing is the key,,but you take that out and toss it, it's in there to keep the meat from drying too much and too add flavor. I stuff duck with apple and bacon,,takes the gamey out and keeps it moist,,toss it. The jucies DO NOT make a flavorfull gravy. Well it's flavorfull alright, just not what you'd call good table fair.

[mazo kid]

I don't have a recipe, but when I was a kid growing up in a small town near Prairie du Chien, Wi. all the rural taverns had Friday night '**** boil dinners. Racoon hunting was a very popular sport and '**** dogs a highly prized animal. Since racoons are in the bear family, could you use a bear meat recipe?

 

[The German]

Here a good recipe from germany. Take 2 large onions, cut in small pieces, brown in large pan with 3 table spoons of oil.
Add 1/4 cup tomato paste, 1/4 cup water, 3 tea spoons chilli powder, 4 tea spoon sweet paprika powder. Add approx 3 lb of racoon cut in3/4 inch cubes ( if no racoon at hand beef works too). Cover and cook on slow heat untill tender ( approx 2 hr). Enjoy!!
