BEER ROASTED CAT

1 cat cut into roast
1 can of Campbell's Cream of Mushroom soup
1 cube of beef bouillon
1 clove of garlic
1 Fine Irish Stout, a lot like a popular dark Irish Beer®, but NOT that brand at their lawyers' request. They alledge this article, educating others in the legal eating habits of over 100 million people world-wide, and specifically in rising East Asian markets, is "highly offensive."
Cover and soak cat roast in salt water for 24 hours. Drain water and then cover and soak in beer for 6 hours. Drain and place in crock pot with your cans of soup. Add a clove of garlic, and a cube of beef bouillon. If you start to slow cook your cat in the morning with your George Foreman Cooker (or it's ilk), you'll have finely cooked feline in time for supper.If a slow cooker is not available, a cat can be baked at 350 degrees for 2-3 hours in a conventional oven and still come out pretty good. Beer Roasted Cat is fantastic served with mashed potatoes, collard greens, and fresh, homemade egg rolls. When planning a full meal just remember- cat is a course best served hot!
Cat may not be the most glamorous, or tastiest of game meats, but with a little thought and preparation, Baked Cat can make the belly of the persnicketiest diner glow with home baked goodness.

***WHITE SAUCE: ***
1 tablespoon butter
2 tablespoons flour
3/4 cup milk; hot
***SCAMPI SAUCE:***
3 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons garlic, crushed
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper
1 tablespoon dried cilantro, optional
2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
black pepper to taste
3/4 cup white wine
1 cup chicken broth
1/4 cup white sauce
***REMAINING INGREDIENTS:***
1/2 pk. angel hair pasta, cooked and drained
bell peppers; thinly sliced
red onions; thinly sliced
10 cloves of garlic; roasted
2 chicken breasts; sliced
olive oil

Directions:

For white sauce: Heat 1 Tbsp. butter in sauce pan, add 2 Tbsp. flour and cook for 2 minutes on med. heat. heat stirring constantly. slowly add 3/4 cup hot milk (hot so it won't get lumpy). Set aside. (Make sure that the white sauce is hot when adding to the scampi sauce)

For scampi sauce: Heat butter over low heat. add the garlic, Italian seasoning, crushed red pepper and black pepper. cook for about 2 minutes on low heat. add the wine and chicken broth. stir until combined. (I usually cook mine for about 30-40 minutes). add 1/4 cup white sauce and cook till slightly thickened. In a large skillet, saute chicken in a little olive till nearly done. add the peppers and onions, saute till chicken is done. add the sauce. saute until everything is warmed. add roasted garlic cloves. serve over pasta.


Make the garlic first
ROASTED GARLIC: Separate head of garlic into individual cloves still in 'paper'. toss in olive oil and wrap tightly in aluminum foil or a small pint sized dish with a lid. bake in 350* oven for 45 minutes. when the garlic has cooled to the touch you should be able to squeeze it out of the 'paper' shell of the individual cloves.





To prepare the chicken breast I flatten it(using a meat hammer, rolling pin, or frying pan.) Smash it really thin, coat it lightly in flour, cook in large skillet with a little olive oil.





This recipe has become a favorite in our house. I have made a few changes to the recipe... I don't use wine I use all chicken broth, and when it says to add 1/4 c. of white sauce I add all of the white sauce. Remember to keep the heat up on high after you add the white sauce, it makes the sauce thicken. It is delicious served with noodles or potatoes. This recipe takes a little effort but it is totally worth it. I also usually double the recipe to feed a family of four. Also, if you don't like spicy food , leave out the crushed red pepper. Peppers and onions are also optional.

peppermint extract and 3-4 drops green food coloring, if desired, to

This recipe is made using Pampered Chef products. If you don't use pampered chef. A large oven safe measuring cup works very well to bake the cake. I have also used various tube shaped pans. This is a very sweet recipe and seems to make the kids exceptionally hyper after eating just a small piece. I don't make it often. But, it makes for a fancy addition to parties.
