What is the best way to cook spotted owl?

Answer 1

Similar to a recipe for bald eagle. Less "gamy" than condor.

That's sick. I like that in a person...

Answer 3

I see everyone is saying "Bald eagle" this and "Condor" that. This would be true for an old and stringy beast. It might need to braise for awhile to make eatable. But it sounds like we might be talking about a nice and plump fattened up in it's prime specimen. If this case and I think it is well then I'm a purest! I'd go Asian, the true experts of getting the most out of endangered species, the neighbors pet or in hard times the SPCA. I think, but your tastes maybe different than mine that MOO GOO OWL GAI PAN served over fluffy white rice would be the way to go! Here is a complete recipe! Bon appetit :-)

There are a lot of answers here before mine and a few are good ideas but they seem to lack the detail to properly answer this important question. This question requires more than just throwing down a quick blurb and hitting the send key. I have devoted my full attention to this question and answered to the best of my ability rather than answering as many question as fast as I can method. I hope it shows regard less of how my answer fairs.

Answer 4

Spotted Owl a la Philistine

Ingredients:

1/2 cup (1 stick) butter
1 cup carrots, shredded
1 cup celery, diced
1 cup onion, finely chopped
1 medium apple, cored, peeled and chopped
4 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1 cup veal (or low-salt chicken) stock
1/2 cup dry white wine
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
2 tablespoons dried rosemary
2 tablespoons dried thyme
4 bay leaves
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cracked pepper
2 plucked & cleaned owls

Preparation:
Pre-heat oven to 375 degrees F.
Melt the butter in a large sauce pan over medium-low heat. Add the carrots, celery, onions, apple and garlic. Saute for 8-10 minutes. Add the stock, wine, parsley, rosemary, thyme, bay leaves, salt and pepper. Turn up the heat and bring to a boil for about 1 minute. Lower the heat to medium-low and simmer for 6-8 minutes.

Pour the vegetables and liquid into a large roasting pan fitted with a lid. Turn the birds breast-side down and nestle into the vegetables and liquid. Spoon some of the liquid and vegetables over the owls and add more water (or wine if you like) to submerse the birds half-way. Cover and roast about 1 1/4 hours. Turn the birds over, facing up, and cook another 15 minutes, uncovered or until a meat thermometer registers 160 degrees F when inserted next to the leg bone.

Remove and let the bird sit for about 10 minutes before carving. Spoon some of the juice and vegetables over each portion of sliced meat and potatoes.

Serves 4-6.


Wine Recommendation:

The dark and heavy nature of owl meat needs to be enjoyed with a solid, bold, red. A syrah or merlot drinks beautifully with this meal.

Answer 5

In the US the answer would be over a hot pad in your jail cell.

All species of raptor including Owls are protected in this country.

Answer 6

you need to have atleast four to prepare a large enough serving. You could go the BBQ route or experiment with curry sauce. If you don't have enough owls for the main course you could use them in a pie.

Answer 7

You cant cook an owl crazyman!!! Owls are protected anyway.

Answer 8
