Ingredients

2 squirrels
2 qts. boiling water
1/2 lb lima beans, fresh
3-4 tomatoes, chopped
1 1/2 t. sugar
2-3 potatoes, in chunks
1/2 onion, sliced
Salt & pepper to taste
3 T. butter

Instructions

Cut the squirrels into pieces. Put into the boiling water along with the rest of the ingredients, except the butter. Cover and simmer for about 2 hours; add the butter and simmer another 15 minutes. Bring to a full boil, remove from the stove and serve. By the way, grey squirrel is even better than red squirrel, and they are both better tasting when hunted in the fall. Young squirrels may be fried. (Published 2008)

this recipe truly captures the delicious soft, gamey texture of squirrel perfectly. Melts in your mouth. More flavourful than pheasant and more royal than squab. After staking out a spot in Thompson Square Park with a pellet gun for an afternoon, I made this recently for a group of very good friends, who were truly impressed and excited to discover this new meat, in addition to the ease of procurement in these difficult economic times. Reserve the tail of squirrel and use for garnish. Also reserve the remaining bones for use in a fantastic brown stock.
