Cat Soup- A Recipe Photo Essay

[Gerald Martin]

How good are mountain lions to eat? I've seen that question asked a lot. I've figured out my answer to that a couple years ago the first time I ate mountain lion.

Some pics from my lion hunt last year and from cooking up a pot of white lion chili tonight.



Ingredient #1 is this.......

We start to add some of this...

 

[Gerald Martin]

Great Northen beans have been simmering a while.....
Time to cut up the onions, garlic and jalepeno peppers.

 

[Gerald Martin]

Saute the meat, saute the onions and peppers. Add pressed garlic last, don't want to scorch the garlic. Combine everything and all the pan juices in a large stock pot.

 

[Gerald Martin]

Add some beef broth, chicken boullion, whatever's handy, some more water. I had some sweet corn handy, added a bit of a sweet taste to it. Chunked up one of the tomatos that was ripening on the window sill, that added a bit of color. I like lots of cumin in white chili, some people don't like as much a I do, it has a distinctive flavor. My wife had some fresh cilantro in the fridge, a couple sprigs of that, don't overdo the cilantro.

Let it simmer an hour or more. Last step is to add some heavy whipping cream. I got a bit carried away. It made my chili pretty rich. The white cat chili definitely is smooth.

It should end up looking something like this.



Bon Appetite'

Good pics there OAK . I mean Gerald. That chili does look good. I may be wrong but isn't that dog supposed to be the color of the one in the picture below. A kidding aside that is a could looking English hound.

 

[Gerald Martin]

It doesn't matter what color the dog is, just which direction their nose is pointing.

That looks good....

I have some ground lion I might have to try this with.
