The Joys Of Eating Other Pokemon

Cooking Reuniclus

Reuniclus, with its gelatinous body, is somewhat difficult to prepare because its organelles are so prone to becoming tough and nearly inedible. Unprepared they have the consistency of medium-yield fat, but properly boiled they become soft enough to accompany toast or dice and add to soup thickened with the gelatinous flesh of the pokemon.

Take great care when boiling the organelles by keeping your flame on a medium heat and watching the parts; they will initially sink but will float the surface as they cook through - if they are left in for a minute or two after they have floated to the top of the broth they will sink back down again and rapidly become too tough to be of use for anything culinary.

Reuniclus organelles pair unusually well with mint and peppery herbs and are typically served with a rub made of these herbs and salt.

The green-tinged flesh of Reuniclus can be added as a thickening agent to a variety of soups and desserts and can even be used as a dessert itself, though it must be boiled over and then sweetened with sugar and the desired flavorings (like pecha or razz berries) and then mixed with water until the flesh dissolves into a more syrupy mixture. Pour into a container, let set, then cut pieces out - the end result is much like gelatin but firmer.
