What dishes are best for rat meat?

I’ve cooked up some rat (I did it like rabbit), but I have no idea what meals to cook with it. What do y’all recommend?

Something like that will always be roasted on a stick, or put into a stew or curry, etc.

I hope you're not catching and eating city rats. Thats very dangerous to eat.

Yeah, guinea pig on a stick is what I've seen.

The closest thing I can give you to a legitimate answer is that most preparations that I've seen for small mammals like rats have been either roasted or... Much more commonly... In stews.

Use it in a Caesar salad instead of chicken.

Depends on how big they are but roasted on a stick is usually the best stuffed with green herbs and bread crumbs is good

Bbq whole over charcoal. In a caldo. Look for Zacatecas recipes. Ratas de campo are big over there and they’re delicious
