Squirrel Recipes?

Yep - Season with salt, pepper and garlic salt. flour and fry. Make gravy, add onion to gravy. Add spuriiel and simmer with a lid for an hour. Will be fall off the bone tender. f you like, you can add carrots, frozen english peas, frozen
wholw kernal corn and potatoes and continue cooking until they are done and have squirrel stew.

Works well with raccoon, ground hog, and gopher too. Regardless of what anyone might tell you, possom is a bit greasy, and you must spoon off the fat several times during cooking.

Oh not recently, Aubie. Stadium Rat read that squirrels were high in cholesterol.

I saw a meat eater episode where they made squirrel dumplings they looked great.

Squirrel gravy in a black pot. Greatness.

I quarter and put the pieces in a dish. I try to get them packed pretty tight. I put a bit of butter and season with Tony's. Cover and put in the oven at 250 until they're tender, usually about 3 or 4 hours. I eat them like wings.

That smothered pork chop technique would work fine. You might be surprised at how long you have to cook it before it gets tender enough though!


Some of the best squirrels I’ve ever eaten, my grandmother fried. She would pressure cook them first, then dust in seasoned flour and deep fry. OMG! I wish I could sit at that kitchen table again.

true story- if whatever was in my grandfather's pot had tiny bones I would not eat it

I had it marinated and grilled once. It wasn't awful but I wouldn't say I would cook it that way myself.
