Ingredients

• 2 pounds raccoon meat
• 3 medium potatoes
• 1 large yellow onion
• 3 pieces garlic cloves
• 2 cups beef or chicken stock
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon cumin
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Start by cleaning and trimming the raccoon meat, removing any remaining fat or sinew.

Step 2

Cut the meat into small bite-sized pieces.

Step 3

Peel and dice the potatoes into small cubes, approximately half an inch in size.

Step 4

Chop the onion finely and mince the garlic cloves.

Step 5

In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium heat.

Step 6

Add the raccoon meat to the pot and sear on all sides until browned. Remove and set aside.

Step 7

In the same pot, melt the butter, then add the onions and garlic. Sauté until softened and fragrant, about 4-5 minutes.

Step 8

Add the diced potatoes to the pot and stir to combine with the onions and garlic. Cook for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 9

Return the raccoon meat to the pot and add the beef or chicken stock.

Step 10

Stir in the paprika, cumin, salt, and ground black pepper.

Step 11

Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 60-75 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking. The meat should become tender, and the potatoes should absorb much of the liquid.

Step 12

Taste and adjust seasonings as needed.

Step 13

Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
