lightbulb_outline Tips
- If you can't find possum, you can substitute with chicken or rabbit for a similar taste and texture.
- For a richer flavor, you can deglaze the pot with a splash of red wine after browning the possum.
- Feel free to add other vegetables like celery or bell peppers for added flavor and texture.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated and enjoyed the next day. The flavors will continue to develop and the stew will be even more delicious!
