How to Make Roast Raccoon with Stuffing
- Skin, draw and clean raccoons soon after killing. Remove, without breaking, the brown bean-shaped kernels from under the forelegs and each thigh.
- Cut into pieces. Reserve meaty backs and legs for baking.
- Cook bony pieces in water for broth to make gravy and stuffing (recipe follows). Add a small amount of seasoning. Simmer until meat is tender; strain and use only the broth.
- Sprinkle back and leg pieces with salt and pepper. Then dredge with flour.
- Heat shortening in heavy skillet. Add meat; brown on all sides.
- Transfer pieces to roaster; add onion and bay leaves. Cover. Bake in 350° oven for 2 hours until tender.
- STUFFING:
- Prepare while meat roasts. Mix together day-old bread, salt, pepper, sage, eggs, onion soup mix, celery, butter and coon broth. Bake in shallow pan in 350° oven for 30 minutes.
