I found a squirrel last night... What should I do with it? Does anyone have any good recipes?

Squirrel Stew


Ingredients:


1 squirrel, quartered


1 cup diced onion


2 large tomatoes (from your garden) or 1 can of tomatoes


Assorted fresh ,or canned veggies


Preparation:


Sprinkle seasoned salt, pepper, and cayenne pepper (optional) liberally on the meat. Pour some cooking oil into a large pot (dutch oven). Saut茅 the meat with the onions until well browned. Drain the excess oil, add about 2 cups water, and bring to a boil. Cut up the tomatoes and add. If you use canned tomatoes add them now. Turn down the heat, and let slow cook for at least an hour. Important: older squirrels may require cooking longer than an hour. Check periodically for tenderness. If you don't you will have a hard time chewing the meat. After the meat is tender, add the veggies, carrots, potatoes, banana pepper, what ever you like. Cook until the veggies are done. An option you can use is, cook up your favorite pasta and serve over the pasta. (eliminate the potatoes).I found a squirrel last night... What should I do with it? Does anyone have any good recipes?
I don't think you should be eating a squirrel you 'found'. If you do BUY ONE you could cook it like this;





BRUNSWICK STEW

1 small tin broad beans


1 small tin tomatoes

1 tablespoon ketchup/Worcester sauce


2 oz butter





Cut squirrel meat into pieces, put in pan with enough boiling water to cover; add a little salt. Simmer for about 45 minutes.


Add sliced potatoes, sliced onions, broad beans, tomatoes and sugar. Cook until potatoes are tneder (about 45 miunutes).

Loads of recipes on these sites.





Squirrel is supposed to be quite nice. Have never tried it yet, but you can buy it in some butchers in North England. Was watching a news report about it this morning, actually, on BBC.
You can treat squirrel the same as any ';game bird'; or other game such as rabbit. If it is a young, healthy animal it will not need cooking as long as anything bigger. Older and it will need the old braising technique of long, slow cooking. So it depends on your taste in food... Either ';plain'; like a southern fried chicken or in a stew. Pot-roast or curry... Whatever floats your boat! LOL!





I take it you ';found'; it as road kill, not ';dead of unknown causes';? It is not unknown for grey squirrels to be poisoned, so I personally would not trust anything not obviously shot or hit by a vehicle. But YMMV as they say!





Urrrmmm... Earthmother, dear. What month is this? I think it is April, although this may be a figment of my imagination...? I think you are confusing game with pork products anyway! LOL!
First of all It is best to eat squirrel or rabbit with months that end in a R. So I suggest you let it go, and when the R months start up again go hunting. One sguirrel to every person.
I don't think it is safe to eat if you found it dead--you don't know what killed it or how long ago. It may have had a disease. Don't risk it. If you killed it, that's different.
squirrel is a bit like rabbit - so would be lovely in a stew with carrots, mushrooms, onion and celery served with lovely creamy mashed potato - hope this helped (lol)
Squirrel is nice dipped into a Chocolate Fountain. Try it its excellent !
curried squirrel, lovely treat
Treat as you would rabbit, theres not a lot of meat on the body but the back legs are quite meaty
