Last Winter my 7yr'ol son and I hit the forests this AM, gunning for Peter Cotton Tail & Squirrel Nutkin.
Didn't see Peter, but Nutkin and his buddies abounded and we limited on the tree rats.

Chile's Braised Squirrel

3-4 Squirrels per person
I use the forelegs, hindquarters, lower back and discard the upper back & ribcage.
One (1) small onion diced
1/2 cup of flour
Spices
One (1) can, Rotel tomatos (optional)

Dredge the squirrel in flour/spices.
I use sea salt and garlic powder.
In a large skillet add just enough oil to brown the pieces.
Use whatever oil/butter you like, I like bacon grease.

Brown the squirrel on both sides with the onions.
You may want to move pieces around to cook evenly.


Lower the heat, add Rotel & quickly add enough water to just almost cover the pieces.


Bring to a slow simmer and cook covered for 1.5 hours.


Devour plain or serve over rice.


Money shots, falling off the bones goodness.

Yummy!
Forget about all the reasons why something may not work. You only need to find one good reason why it will.

I have not failed.  I just found 10,000 ways that won't work.

Now that's my idea of a great meal.

I tried some years ago, couldn't hack it.  I'll wait and try mongoose.  Dominick
Leave the gun.  Take the cannolis.

There are two things I don't like about fishing.  Getting up early in the morning and boats.  The rest of it is fun.

Try it once, by someone who knows how to cook, you may well be surprised.
A very delicate yet pronounced nutty flavor when they've been chowing on acorns & pecans.

How about some herb crusted roasted rabbit?
