Southern Living Cook
What is the best, and cheapest, way to cook possum?
I only ask because I live in a rather up-scale neigborhood in Southern California. As such with the vast estates and dense vegetation, many possum are visible at night. While driving me home in the late evening, Raul, my driver, has had the occasion to run over them many times. Not the same one, but different ones.
So, since I would expect it to be an excellent source of protien, I am curious about how to have my maid prepare the road harvest. I don’t want to spend a lot of money, it is after all just for the help, nor do I want Maria to spend too much time on the cooking.
Do you have any suggestions?
sue….we don’t “do” barns in my neighborhood.
Have a pot luck dinner with the neighbors. Yahoo! The night before the dinner you’ll want to catch yourself a fresh possum. This in itself is excellent entertainment on a moonlight night. I suggest procuring a bottle of Moonshine or keg of Bud to stay hydrated during the adventure. Of course, since you live in an upscale California neighborhood, let me also suggest that a vintage bottle of St. Francis or Beringer Howell’s Merlot would also be quite tasty during the hunt. Once you catch the critter, remove the head and feet and freeze the chubby little guy overnight so as not to stink up your gourmet kitchen.
Possum Pot Pie
Ingredients:
1 cup glazed huckleberries
3 shots gin or moonshine
1 possum
—if roadkill: make jambalaya
—if caught: proceed with recipe
1 pie crust
sliced carrots & cabbage to taste
Directions:
Cover a pan (or any implement you can put in a fire) with the bottom of your pie crust, and place the possum in it. Add the huckleberries and carrots, and shred the cabbage over it. Close up the pie and bake until the neighbors’ dogs come sniffing around to see what the wonderful smell is. You’ll know it’s done when the dogs begin howling or the fire department arrives (whichever comes first). Remove pie from fire/oven, slice, and enjoy.
Bon appetit.
