Wondering how to cook rattlesnake meat at home? Well, here are some recipes on how to cook it that might help you.

Rattlesnakes are one of the most venomous snakes in the world and are identified by the rings at the tip of their tail, called a rattle. They make a rattling sound with it as a warning to their predators. Rattlesnake meat has been a delicacy in some parts of North America for a long time. It is also used as a popular medicinal remedy.

The meat is pretty tough, but it can be consumed if cooked, properly. People eat it as a part of various dishes. Even canned rattlesnake meat is a favorite among people. In Texas where rattlesnake meat became popular in the 1950s, people consumed it as a barbecue or as a main ingredient in chili.

Recipe 1

The meat should be cut into thin slices, using a sharp knife. Beat the slices with a tenderizer for a few minutes. Place these in a baking tray and season them with salt. Now, fill the tray halfway with water, before covering it with a lid. Preheat the oven to 350 °F. Place the baking tray in it and bake the meat for about 60 minutes. Once done, remove the lid and let it cook for another 10 minutes. Serve the meat with some tortilla chips and salsa, on the side.

Ingredients

½ cup Italian virgin olive oil, ⅛ cup Tennessee whiskey, ⅛ cup fresh pineapple juice, ½ tsp. coarse ground black pepper, 1 cup Roland Soy Sauce, 1 tbsp. brown sugar, 3 large garlic cloves (chopped), 1 pinch dried basil, 1 tsp. red pepper flakes (crushed)

Method

*To a large mixing bowl, add the Italian virgin olive oil, soy sauce, fresh pineapple juice, garlic cloves, Tennessee whiskey, red pepper flakes, dried basil, brown sugar, and coarse ground black pepper.

Mix them up together and seal the bowl with a lid or an aluminum foil.

Refrigerate the mixture for 1½ hours.

Coat the fresh rattlesnake meat with this marinade and allow it to stand for at least 4 hours.

Rattlesnake Meat Facts

Rattlesnake meat should never be eaten raw, even if it is dried.

The meat contains deadly parasites like salmonella bacteria, that have been reported to harm humans when eaten. Hence, make sure that the meat is thoroughly cooked before consuming it.

For some people, it tastes like chicken, while for others, it tastes like frog legs.

This meat is easier to find online rather than in local supermarkets or grocery stores.

Before you cook the meat, wash hit, thoroughly. You can use cold water while you do this.

The link above will lead you to a recipe on how to bake these tasty rolls used to making sandwiches.  They might even be excellent hamburger bun substitutes.

Ingredients

Dough

• 2 teaspoons instant yeast
• 1 1/2 cups (340g) water
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 1 tablespoon lard, shortening, or butter, melted and cooled
• 1 1/2 teaspoons (9g) salt (optional)
• 4 to 4 1/2 cups (480g to 540g) all purpose flour*

• *if substituting wheat with gluten free flour, you will need to add guar gum and baking powder to the mixture.  All purpose tapioca flour is generally used as a substitute in making gluten free bread.  A mixture of tapioca and rice flours is also quite commonly used.  Add a tablespoon of guar gum to substitute for the missing gluten found naturally in wheat.
• Glaze

• 1 egg, beaten with 1 tablespoon water

Instructions

1. In a large bowl or the pan of your bread machine set on the dough cycle, combine the yeast, water, honey, melted fat, salt, and 4 cups of the flour. Mix until a soft dough forms.

2. Check the doughs consistency; if the dough sticks to your finger when you touch it lightly, add 1/4 cup of the additional flour and mix for another minute. Check the dough again, adding the remaining 1/4 cup of flour only if you need it; the dough should be soft, but not sticky.

3. Knead for 6 to 8 minutes at medium speed in a stand mixer, or 10 minutes by hand, until it's smooth and bouncy.

4. Cover the bowl and let rise for 1 hour, until doubled, or let the bread machine complete its cycle.

5. Once the dough has risen, deflate it and divide into 10 pieces, roll into balls, and cover the pieces.

6. Let them rest for 5 minutes before shaping the rolls into a football shape, tapering toward the edges; the rolls should be 5 1/2" long and 2" around at the center.

7. Place the rolls onto a greased or parchment-lined baking sheet and cover with greased plastic. Allow the rolls to rise while turning the oven on and preheating to 400°F

8. When the rolls are almost doubled in size, brush the tops and sides with egg wash. Using a greased knife, slash the rolls twice parallel to each other. Press down firmly with each slice.

9. Bake for 20 to 22 minutes, until golden brown and the centers read 190°F on a digital thermometer. Remove from the oven and cool completely before slicing.
