Ingredients

2-3 squirrels, cleaned

6 cups or so of water, need will vary depending on the size of the squirrels

2 small or 1 large sweet onions, chopped

2-3 medium potatoes, diced

salt, black pepper, red pepper to taste

1 cup rice

Directions

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.

My parents, esp on dads side, had ONLY squirrel (and possum) for months at a time in winter, that, biscuits and collard greens. By the time I came along we ate it only occasionally, and now I consider it a rare and yummy treat. I still hunt, but mostly with a camera these days...
nice, simple recipe,

Grew up on squirrel, rabbit, pheasant, quail, fish. It has been a long time since had squirrel (the 80's) since in the South they get whorls so don't eat them. Now, here in Tampa, they come in my house to eat what my African Grey throws outa his cage.

I personally could never eat squirrel but, I know people who have and still do. They say it's great if prepared with the right ingredients and cooked properly. Thank you for sharing your recipe and if you don't mind, I will share it with my friends. We have a neighbourhood full of squirrels - feel free to come on over!!!

I actually cooked squirrel and rabbit last week. My husband is an avid squirrel hunter. The squirrels are kinda scarce here since the hurricanes. But he got a couple of them! I'm going to put my recipe on here and you can see the difference in the way we cook. HAVE A GREAT DAY!
