Directions
Step 1
1. Begin by cleaning the elephant thoroughly. Remove skin, excess fat, and debone, if desired, to make cooking more manageable.
Step 2
2. Cut the elephant meat into bite-sized chunks. Note: This may require heavy-duty equipment and significant time.
Step 3
3. In an industrial-sized pot or a custom-built outdoor cauldron, bring all 500 liters of water to a boil.
Step 4
4. Gradually add in the cut elephant meat, ensuring it is submerged in the boiling water. Allow it to simmer for approximately 24 hours.
Step 5
5. After 24 hours, add the onions, carrots, celery, potatoes, and garlic to the pot.
Step 6
6. Stir in the salt, black pepper, and bay leaves for seasoning. Continue cooking and occasionally stirring for an additional 48 hours.
Step 7
7. Once the meat is tender and the vegetables are soft, add chopped parsley for garnish and stir.
Step 8
8. If you find that there isn’t enough meat for everyone (hard to imagine), you can scale up the recipe by adding small rabbits as a filler. Cook for an additional 8 hours if adding rabbits.
Step 9
