I know a lot of people don't think they are edible, but I think its wrong. My wife and I each shot one last weekend at the ranch and processed them out. Skinning is pretty much the only part different from any other game animal. Once the hide is gone so is the smell. My wife was skeptical but loved it. Before Ingredients 2-3 lbs cubed javalina, I used backstrap and ham muscles Large onion Large bell pepper Salt Pepper Cumin Paprika chillipowder Garlic powder 1/2 cup hot sauce flour water 1-stick butter -Trim the meat into 1 inch or less cubes -put meat in bowl and lightly coat in flour and season with the spices(you may need to add more spices while simmering just taste it and see) -dice onion and bell pepper and sauté with stick of butter -put on hi heat allow pan to get HOT then throw in meat and sear it. Make sure it doesn't burn. -Cover with water, add hot sauce, bring to a boil then reduce heat to low, cover and let simmer till tender and forms a gravy (mine took about 3 hours) It was late so I didn't get any done pictures, but it tasty. Lunch for a couple days! matt

I had it once years ago and liked it fine.

Good job! Like almost anything else it's good if you do it right. I see we use the same seasonings, even have the same stove..

Javelina is good. Shot one a few years ago. I took care of it just like I would a deer. Gutted it, skinned it, and got it on ice. I had always heard they are not fit to eat, but I am the kind of guy that usually tries everything for myself. I processed it and fried up some blackstrap medallions and they were great. My family said they liked it better than venison. It was some good stuff. Made chili out of the rest,everyone that tried it loved it. But they would not believe me that it was javelina.

Many a year ago, I made a stew of javelina one day at noon. It tasted great. That evening, after coming from the deer stand, I tried warming up the same stew, and I could just barely get and keep it down.
I wonder if the beer I was drinking while I was cooking it may have had something to do with all this?

Not sure but I made it let it cool and stuck the whole pan in the fridge over night. Ate it for dinner the following night, wife took some in lunch the past two days, and if there is any left I will likely finish it for dinner tonight.
No problems yet. Throw it in a tortilla with some shredded cheese and hot sauce and you got some fine eatin! reheated or not
