Porcupine recipes and cooking tips?

[Freyr_255]

Shot a porcupine last weekend with the intent of giving it a try since they are bloody everywhere and can be shot year round(bagged probably a 20lb female with a 45 colt round ball in the head).

I've been told cook it over an open fire as the meat is very greasy. Other thoughts and suggestions? Use BBQ sauce or something as well?

My wife made into a simple stew. Diced the meat, cooked it with onions, peas and other veggies. It was the best tasting stew I have ever had. My kids, who normally don't like wild meat, ate itlike there was no tomorrow. Evey time I go hunting now if I don't bag a deer I bag a porcupine. Just watch out for the ones that eat pine trees. Makes them taste like pine

I'm taking a stab at most of them up here eat pine. Right now though they are eating a fair amount of fresh grass on the road sides which is where you see them by the dozens so hopefully it's not too bad. Guess we'll see.

I'm not a big fan of stews. What else can be done with porky's?
