Title: Carmelized Muskrat Onaplank (Muskrat On A Plank)
Categories: Main dish
Yield: 4 servings
1 ea Fresh muskrat (road kill)
1 ea Hickory plank; slightly
- larger than muskrat
1 tb Cooking oil
1 ts Salt
2 Green onions
1 ds Pepper
1 tb Fish sauce
Skin the fresh muskrat and discard the skin. (Can be saved and
tanned into leather.)
Nail the muskrat to the hickory plank, carefully stretching out.
Chop the green onion fine. Heat the oil in 2 quart pot, then add
the onion and the remaining ingredients. Saute, stirring, on medium
heat until the sauce is done, about 5 minutes or more.
Place planked muskrat in a large pot, add 4 cups of water and
simmer, uncovered, on medium heat for one hour. Add the fish sauce
and continue to simmer on medium heat 1 more hour. Most of the
water will be absorbed by the meat and the remainder will be
slightly thick--or carmelized. Be careful not to burn it. Remove
the muskrat from the pot carefully!
Separate the muskrat from the plank, and place meat to one side.
Pour the sauce from the pot over the plank. Totally discard the
muskrat and eat the plank! Bon Appetite. Serve hot as a main dish,
with lots of rice.
