Sewer Rat Stew Recipe

[longboy]

Before I get called a troll, this is a recipe I got off a Sotho worker here at my factory.

1. Procure 3 large sewer rats then proceed to chop off head, tail and appendages.
2. Use a sharp skinning knife and remove all of the skin. Remove entrails as well.
3. Add a small quantity of oil and fry finely sliced onions and a small amount of chopped garlic.
4. Add chicken/beef stock to a large pot, along with 1.5L of water.
5. Stir in diced and cubed potatoes, a large tomatoes and herbs/spices. Allspice and Nutmeg brings out the natural sweetness of the meat. Cinnamon and cloves go well, but use sparingly.
6. Chop up the rat meat into 1" chunks and marinade lightly with black pepper.
7. Boil for 15 minutes, then let it simmer for 2 hours or until meat is tender. Add salt to taste before turning off the heat.
8. Serve with cold putu.

why Chicken/Beef stock, and not rat stock?

Knorrox is pretty common here, I guess that's what they use.

 

[Budza]

I'd chow that if hungry. Ditch the cinnamon and cloves tho

Apparently pigeon is really good too.

Well, it is sewer rat. They've spent their whole lives marinading in all sorts of different essences: everything that has ever been flushed down a toilet or washed down a drain.

It sounds nice if one used normal rat.

Grain-fed?

Grass fed preferably, although I don't think the rats would be too keen on that.

Pigeon is bitter. The staff used to eat them in Harare, not a pleasant taste

That does not sound like a traditional style recipe to me, so I'm going to say you're being had. Besides that recipe could be used with any meat.

I had pigeon in Bangladesh in a Chinese restaurant (don't ask, it was on the agents recommendations) I've never eaten anything so tasteless and extremely boney.
