Emeril? Are you out there?

[Amianthus]

I thought that I'd be able to get an answer to this here. You guys have an answer for everything else. Heh, heh.



Anwway, we have a squirrel in our freezer and don't really know how to prepare it the best. I have only had them in the slow-cooker and it wasn't all that good. So what secret family recipies do you guys have for preparing squirrel? Any suggestions?



BAM!

Deep fry that baby. If it still does'nt taste too good, put a ton of ketsup (or how ever that stupid word is spelled ) on it. Just kiddin'. I'll ask my dad when I get a chance. I think he's eaten a couple squirrels in his earlier days.

A friend of mine used to flour and pan fry them, after I shot them full of pellets with my 410. They're supposed to taste like chicken, same as rabbit. I've had rabbit, but not squirrel.



If you make Emerils Red Skin Mashed Potatoes and you don't care for the taste of the squirrel, you can make a meal of just the potatoes.

Pan frying

I'm with Doc. The only way to cook squirrel is hot and fast. Work well in stir fry too.

I would suggest kicking it up a notch and using lots of Tabasco no matter how you cook it. The new Garlic Tabasco is really good, give it a try.





Edit - just for fun I did a search with Google and look what I found www.justgamerecipes.com/squirrel/index.shtml

Used to love squirrel when my mother fried it. Don't have much appetite for squirrel of late but will offer this recipe. Take a white pine board about one foot square, cover it with your favorite sauce, place the squirrel in the center of board and bake slowly in oven until well done. Remove from oven and with a metal spatula, scrape the squirrel off into the garbage can and eat the board. bg

The only way I have every had it was floured, deep fried with home made biscuits and pepper gravy. Good stuff!

 

[Amianthus]

Thanks for the help?



The google recipie list is pretty good though. I never thought of doing that. I didn't search the forum just because I didn't think there'd be much history to that subject other than roadkill.



Thanks again. I'll let you know how it turns out.

Some of them squirrels are a bear to skin but they definitely taste better with da hair off.
