Thai Rat recipe ;)

[utkb]

OK a bit crazy, but my wife tried some quail a while ago and said it reminded her of rat.

I plan on grilling some quail soon and would like to have a thai style to it. Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance

Recipe for Pad Krapow New:

Recipe for ground rat meat and chili paste:

Ingredients:

• 1/4 cup fish oil
• 1/4 cup vegetable oil
• 1-1/2 cups of dried red chili peppers
• 4 long green peppers
• 8 large bay leaves
• 1/2 cup holy basil leaf
• 1 tablespoon salt
• 4 chopped garlic cloves
• 4 small rats

Initial Preparation:

• With a mortar and pestle place the 1-1/2 cups of dried red chili peppers, and begin to mash until a red paste is achieved. Add a tablespoon of water to make moist.
• Chop garlic cloves.
• Place bay leaves in a small bowl of water. Roll two bay leaves at a time and then thinly shred and place in dry dish. Do for all 8 leaves - two at a time.
• Place holy basil leaves in a small bowl of water.
• Dice long green peppers. Do small cross sections so look like wheels and place in dry dish.
• Skin 4 small rats. Clean and place heart and liver in separate bowl.

Cooking preparations:

• Place oil in a wok over an open flame and heat
• Place small rats in a grate, and lightly cook over an open flame on both sides until medium cooked. Do not cook well done.
• Mix red chili paste with hot oil and stir well.
• Finely chop rats on a wood chopping block over and over until makes a smooth ground meat texture. Be sure to chop all the bones well.
• Add chopped rat meat to the red chili paste and oil and stir well.
• Add diced green peppers and stir well. Let cook for 5 minutes.
• Add 1/2 tablespoon of salt.
• Add whole liver and heart and sir in.
• Add holy basil leaves to mixture and stir in well and let cook for another 5 minutes. Be sure not to burn the chili paste - add a little water if necessary to keep moist but not runny.
• Add chopped garlic cloves
• Add shredded bay leaves and stir in and cover and let simmer for 5 minutes or more to let all the flavors mix well.

The rats are skinned and gutted, then minced with a clever, bones and all. Birds, Nook, quail, etc. are done the same way.

If you want to barbeque them:

Ingredients:

• Fresh whole rats, skinned and gutted
• Marinade
• 1 tablespoon coriander root and stem, chopped
• 1 tablespoon garlic, chopped
• 1 teaspoon ginger paste
• 1 teaspoon white pepper
• 1 teaspoon sugar
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2 teaspoons ground turmeric
• 4 tablespoons vegetable oil

Method:

1. Rub the spices and oil onto the rats and let marinate for a few hours and preferably overnight.

2. Grill slowly on a BBQ or grill until cooked though and slightly charred

3. Served with steamed rice, Thai sweet chilli sauce and coriander leaves.

You wanted rat recipes, my wife cooks both in her restaurant.

The above two recipes are spot on, although I notice people often use a packet of spice mixture called "Krung Thet" to the mix. Cost 5 baht. This spice mix needs to be fried in hot oil all by itself first to bring out the flavours.

The first recipe can also be used with snake.

Also gohp (frog) very popular here and when my wife has it, it;s gone in a short time. The frogs and eels are usually alive. She won't kill them or clean them so guess who gets the honor. Can I get a WP to be a frog butcher?

Thanks! I'll give these a shot in the next week and see how it turns out.
