This makes a tasty meal for 2 and is great all year round. You can pick up a guinea pig from any local pet store - please note most will not sell it to you if you plan to eat it, so best to not tell them
Ingredients
1 guinea pig, de-haired, gutted, and cleaned
1/2 c. flour
1/4 - 1/2 t. ground cumin
salt and black pepper to taste
1/2 c. oil
Cooking Instructions
Pat dry the skin of the guinea pig and rub in the cumin, salt, and pepper. Preheat oil. Dust the carcass with the flour and place it on its back in the oil, turning to cook both sides. Alternately, the guinea pig can be cut and fried in quarters.
Serve with boiled potato or boiled manioc root, and a salad of cut tomatoes and slivered onions bathed in lime juice and a bit of salt. Have cold beer on hand.
Anyone can easily become weary of cooking day after day, even when just for ourselves, and especially for a big family. It is hard to come up with creative ideas that taste good, and don’t take hours to prepare. There is also the matter of budget, and health to consider when coming with meal ideas. But there are plenty of healthy recipes out there to help you keep yourself healthy, and provide nutritional options for your family without breaking the bank.
There are a few key, simple and quick meals that you can use as a base, and spice up a few details to keep them unique. A salad for instance may seem like a boring idea, and more of a side rather than a meal, but this is far from true. For example, make a salad with mixed leafy greens, grill some chicken breasts for a low fat protein solution, cut them in slices and mix together with a low fat dressing. This is a great filler with lots of protein and essential nutrients from the veggies that you include. You can mix up the lettuce, greens, and veggies you use to keep it interesting. Healthy food doesn’t have to be boring or expensive!
