Fried guinea

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.
