my take on squirrel stew

[.356luger]

Here it is Ingredients:
4 or 5grey or 2 or 3 big reds whole with head removed
Red skin potatoes
Carrots
half an onion
Celery
Salt 2tbs
Coarse ground Pepper 3tbs
Dried sage 4 tbs
Garlic powder 1tbs
Beef bullion cubes x 2
Enough water to cover your squirrel by an inch
A little bacon grease
2 cans creme of mushroom

Directions:
Put squirrel diced onion and bullion in a crockpot and cook until the squirrel falls off the bone

Remove squirrels debone and set meat off to the side (remove any shot from the crock and meat at this point)

Cut potatoes ancd celery carrots into the sizeyou want and cook in bullion I leave my celery out until the potatoes are about done.

Strain veggies out of bullion (catch the broth and can it thats what I do)

At this point brown your squirrel in bacon grease and put it back in the crock pot with your veggies put salt garlic sage and pepper in and both cans of creme of mushroom and one can of water and stir until you get an even consistancy.

Turn the crock pot back on and start warming the french bread up! After 25min or so in my crockpot its G2G ad salt if you need

Mine is similar with one exception. I recently got a pressure cooker. Wow! Put in whole squirrels with 1 to 2 cups of water and 13 minutes later the meat just falls off the bone. Then it's business as usual.

Too bad the season is over. None in the freezer either.

How do you cook your brains? I usually leave them splattered in the woods

In a skillet usually with scrambled eggs. Waste not want not. I understand what you are saying, but why would anyone pick such a large target? Through the heart is a lot less wasteful!!


Brains from three squirrels (fox squirrels have the largest brains)
Half a dozen eggs
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
Salt and pepper to taste
A few Parsley flakes
A pinch or two of Garlic powder
Directions
In a large skillet heat the oil and add in the squirrel brains. Using a wooden spoon keep the brains stirred in order to break them up and keep them from being in a large clump. When the brains begin to get a good firm texture and start to brown add the eggs and the seasonings and cook until the eggs are done. Serve with toast and hash browns.
