I shoot quite a few "Grey Squirrels" during the course of a year and to date have never actually eaten one.
In a recent publication, a recipe was included......and it looks quite a tasty way to cook Squirrel.
A few have tried it in the woods being cooked over a campfire with varying success and not really getting the best from the experience.
Here is a recipe for the home kitchen.
Ingredients and methods.
2 Squirrels (jointed)
200ml buttermilk.
200g plain flour.
1 tbsp corn flour.
1 tbsp garlic powder.
1 tbsp paprika.
1 tbsp chili.
1 tbsp salt.
1 tbsp pepper.
1ltr vegetable oil.
Cover the Squirrel joints in buttermilk, cover, and place in the fridge overnight (8+ hours)
Add the flour, corn flour, garlic powder, paprika, chili, salt, and pepper to a large bowl and mix well.
Remove the Squirrel from the fridge and allow to reach room temperature.
Heat the vegetable oil to just before boiling point.
Take the Squirrel pieces out of the buttermilk and cover each one completely in the flour mix before placing on a wire rack.
Cook the Squirrel in the oil in batches for around 5 minutes, allowing the meat to cool for at least 5 minutes.
Goes exceedingly well with some homemade chips and coleslaw.
If anyone fancies trying this recipe........it would be nice to have your thoughts and feedback.
