Granny's Raccoon Stew (Secret Recipe)

1 (4 lb.) raccoon, cut into cubes
2 or 3 onions, sliced
2 to 3 c. canned tomatoes, chopped
Salt & pepper
Basil leaf
Carrots
Onions
Potatoes

This one here's a secret recipe, don't go tellin Granny yous got it from me. Theys lotsa different ways you could go about cookin' a raccoon. Theys barbequed coon, baked coon, coon burgers, coon kabob, but they aint nothin like a good helpin of Granny's Raccoon stew. All you need for this recipe is a freshly caught coon, some deeelicious vegies, and a couple of folks with empty bellies ready to eat.

Now fore you go gettin' ready to cook your coon you gotta get out and find one. Sometimes catchin a coon is as easy as knockin over your trash bin and snaggin one, but most coons are wily little buggers and if they get they claws in you, they sure do hurt. Easier way is to hop on your pickup and drive round till you runs one over with your tire. Only problem is the stew ends up tastin little bit like rubber. Best way to catch a coon is to find yourself a good smell hound who can sniff out a coon in the woods and catch em. Our hound dog Blue can catch a coon the size of a tractor tire, he's a good dog.

A good sized coon's bout three to five pounds makin a big pot of coon stew enough to feed the whole family, unless you's got twelve brothers and sisters like I does then yous need bout six coons to feed everybody. After you got yourself a nice big coon you got to get it ready for cookin. Now I don't like this part much cuz I aint big on cuttin up dead animals and seein blood alls around cuz it makes me sicker than a dead skunk in a sewer. So I find somebody to do it for me, they don't mind as long as theys gets the biggest helpin of stew.

To get the meat from the coon you need to skin em and get rid of all the insides, though in some towns theys like the insides best. Now you gotta clean the meat by lettin it sit in some cold water and ice, or if yous from the North you can keep em in your fancy fridgeraders. After you gots your coon all cleaned up its time to cook em up real good.

To make the stew you gotta find a big kettle to throw in the raccoon and all the fixins. Throw the kettle on the stove or if you aint got a stove you can get your engine real hot and put the kettle right over it. Just make sure you gots the parking break on cuz one time we done forgot and the truck took our stew right into a ditch. Toss your cleaned and cut up raccoon meat in the boiling water and let it cook for bout twenty minutes.

When the coon's all browned and cooked, add yourself some onions, potatoes, tomatoes, and carrots and leave em in for another ten minutes. I also like to add some salt and pepper and a basil leaf to add some kick to the stew. When you're ready to serve it up, gather all your friends and family and dish out a good helpin to everyone around. Grab some biscuits for dippin and dig in to Granny's Racoon Stew. If'n you don't like it, don't tell her, cuz she'd have my hide.
