My daughter is wanting to do some squirrel hunting today and I’m looking for some different ways to prepare them.

What are your favorite recipes? We always fried them or went the gumbo route.

Thanks,

I like to brown the pieces in a pan first, then add cut up onions, bell peppers, garlic and seasoning. Keep covered on a low fire. Add a little water every now and then to make a gravy. Cook until tender, usually a couple hours. Could also use a black iron pot in the oven. Can’t go wrong as long as you keep a little water in the bottom. Can do rabbit the same way. I like it served next to a pile of white beans and rice, with a hunk of cornbread on the side.

Brown gravy.

Season the squirrel and marinate in the fridge preferably over night but you don't have to.

Brown them awhile until they're dark

Add chopped onions and bell pepper and garlic. Sweat those down and brown them.

Add water, you should have a dark brown gravy. Add a can of golden mushroom and stir it good until it's blended.

Cover and simmer until the squirrel is tender

Serve over rice. Enjoy.

It's some of the best wild game in a gravy.

Light seasoning and out on the bbq pit or smoker. When med rare, put on top a plate of white beans.

Classic camp dish.

This dumpling recipe from the F&D board looks pretty good.

Quarter out the squirrel, lightly bread it and fry it, toss in Buffalo sauce. It’s good for multiple eaters
