I haven't had squirrel since I was a child, so it was a real treat when my friend served this for supper tonight. It may seem odd to most of you, but wild game recipes like this are treasured by many who were raised on it, but don't have hunters in their family anymore to provide it.

Ingredients
- 2-3 squirrels, cleaned shopping list
- 6 cups or so of water, need will vary depending on the size of the squirrels shopping list
- 2 small or 1 large sweet onions, chopped shopping list
- 2-3 medium potatoes, diced shopping list
- salt, black pepper, red pepper to taste shopping list
- 1 cup rice shopping list
How to make it
- In a large pot, bring water to a rolling boil and add squirrels. *IMPORTANT* Do not add salt to the water at this time! Wait till the meat is tender, then add salt or the meat will be tough. It's OK to add pepper now, it will add some flavor to the meat.
- Reduce heat, cover and simmer slowly till meat is tender, 2 hours more or less, depending on the age and size of the squirrels.
- If you wish, remove cooked meat, let cool, debone and return meat to the pot, some people don't debone the meat and that's fine, too. It just adds more flavor to the finished dish.
- Now, bring the pot back to a boil and add onions and potatoes.
- Stir, add water at this time if needed. There needs to be enough hot broth in the pot when the veggies are al dente (almost tender) to cook the rice.
- Add rice, stir, cover, reduce to low heat, cook 14 minutes.
- Remove from heat, stir and add more seasonings to taste.
- Serve with hot sauce.
