Put squirrel in skillet, add garlic, chopped tomatoes, onion and peppers. Pour in some wine and simmer until tender. Oooops, forgot the crushed red pepper.

Do you soak the squirrel in brine overnight, or remove the musk glands to take out the gamey taste before cooking?

Soak in a brine. put in a deep frying pan, cover with onions and a bit of cooking sherry and plenty of garlic,some thyme and a bay leaf or two, simmer on low for a hour or two, adding water as needed. Add mushrooms, carrots, potatoes, (really whatever you like). Cook for another hour or so. Take veggies out. Strain meat, de-bone. Thicken reserved pan liquids. Put meat and veggies back in. Don't forget salt and pepper!

The recipe was my mothers. I haven't cooked or hunted squirrel since I was a youngster. Now venison. I soak that in milk to remove the gamey taste. After I've cleaned it and blocked it out, I'll soak it in icewater and salt to pull out the blood.

The last time I had squirrel was years ago, but I hear low and slow is the way to cook squirrel. Especially in a stew.

Cut squirrel into quarters for frying. Place in pressure cooker with 1 cup of water and cook for 10 minutes after regulator jiggles (15 pounds pressure). Reduce pressure under running water. Using tongs, coat meat with seasoned flour and fry in small amount of shortening. Remove meat from skillet. Add 1 tablespoon of soy sauce and 1 teaspoon of beef bouillon to drippings, thicken with flour and add water from pressure cookerto make brown gravy. Serve over flat egg noodles. THERE WILL BE A LOT OF TINY BONES.

This thread makes me happy there are grocery stores. I like my meat wrapped and overpriced.

This makes me wish I had a pressure cooker.
