Armadillo recipe

Courtesy of Mr Q

Armadillo are common on EARTH's campus...
and I always enjoy trying new things.

Armadillo, South of the Border style.

- Trap armadillo with a net between 12 AM and 2AM.

- Get 3 gal of water boiling in big pot.

- Take creature's life away with a single swing of the machete to his head. (Females not eaten)

- While water boils, place uncooked food neck down to drain as much fluid as possible.

- Dip raw food in pot of boiling water. Let it rest for 15 min.

- Take it out of pot and start peeling shell from the abdomen area.

- At this point meat will be only cook on the surface.

- On separate pot start to melt butter with mashed fresh garlic cloves, onions and culantro (Not cilantro) Cut the meat into small cubes and sautee with butter, garlic and cilantro until cooked.( Low heat-No browning)Slowly pour sour-orange juice, potato cubes, tomato paste, salt and pepper as you stir. cover and let simmer for about 15 more minutes.

Enjoy with fried plantains, white rice and highball. Whew! is harder for me to write than to cook. I aim to please.

The texture/flavor results to be like a chicken breast stew, similar to the one Mexicans use on their tacos ( No joke here).

Don't ask me for more recipes where I have to go catch my own food, please.

Sounds great. Wish armadillo was abundant in these parts. Let me know how the recipe turns out and keep on loving the Pure Life. I'm jealous of your diet and machete.

Adam, that is gross. Will you catch me one, not eat it, and bring it home for me to play with?

Anonymous, don't count on it... customs doesn't like critters. My Tico friends and I are planning an armadillo BBQ, so the best I will be able to do is post some pictures.
