Description

Porcupine Soup is an exotic and traditional dish made with wild game meat and hearty vegetables, simmered slowly to create a flavorful and nutritious meal rooted in cultural heritage.

Ingredients

1.5 lbs porcupine meat (or rabbit/squirrel as substitute)
2 tablespoons cooking oil
1 large onion, chopped
2 carrots, diced
2 potatoes, diced
4 cups broth (chicken or vegetable)
2 bay leaves
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Salt to taste
Fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

Clean porcupine meat thoroughly under cold water and pat dry. Cut into bite-sized pieces and season with salt, pepper, and herbs.
In a large pot, heat oil over medium heat. Sauté onions until translucent.
Add porcupine meat and brown on all sides.
Stir in chopped carrots and potatoes. Add broth, bay leaves, thyme, and bring to a boil.
Reduce heat and simmer for 1 hour, or until meat is tender and vegetables are fully cooked.
Taste and adjust seasoning. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot.

Notes

If porcupine meat is unavailable, substitute with rabbit or other game meat. Always ensure wild game is sourced safely and cooked thoroughly. For a vegetarian version, use hearty mushrooms and vegetable broth.
