I was asked to help a friend, who I had competed against, do a cook to raise money for a volunteer fire department, to which I said absolutely I would love to help. I am thinking it is going to be the typical brisket, rib, pork butt type fair, which will also be included.
However, it turns out he wants me to cook the exotic meats for the VIPs who are paying a lot to taste the exotics, which include everything from Waygu brisket (exotic to me since I have never cooked one) to Mountain Lion and all the deer, antelope, wild boar in between. Yes, you read Mountain Lion correctly, which was obtained legally before anyone asks. Yes, I said everything I could to not be chosen to cook the exotics, but I confess part of me said hmm, I ain't never tasted no Terran before.. (Guardian of the Galaxy reference for fun).
My understanding is most if not all will be the "tenderloin" from the animals, but I don't exactly have a recipe for seasoning and cooking these types of meats. The only thing I feel confident about is the meats will be extremely lean cuts. So, anyone out there have a recipe for Mountain Lion (gladly accepting help/recommendations for any other exotic type meats as well)...
