Time 4h30m

Yield 10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 opossum
1 cup salt
1 large onion, chopped fine
1 tablespoon fat
opossum liver (optional)
1 cup breadcrumbs
chopped red pepper
1 dash Worcestershire sauce
1 hard-boiled egg, chopped fine
salt, to taste

Steps:

  • Roast Opossum:.
  • The opossum is a very fat animal with a peculiarly flavored meat.

  • Allow to stand overnight. In morning, drain off the salted water and rinse well with clear water.
  • Stuff opossum with opossum stuffing (stuffing recipes next); sew opening or fasten with skewers.
  • Place in roaster, add 2 tablespoons water and roast in moderate oven (350°F) until tender and richly browned, about one and one half hours.
  • Baste every 15 minutes with drippings.
  • Remove skewers or stitches, and place on heated platter.
  • Skim fat from gravy remaining in pan.
  • Opossum Stuffing:.
  • Brown onion in fat.
  • Add finely chopped opossum liver and cook until liver is tender.
  • Add crumbs, a little red pepper, Worcestershire sauce, egg, salt and water to moisten.
