Here is a couple of squirrel recipes I found.
Squirrel With Rice
2 squirrels, cut up
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 bay leaf
1 cup rice, uncooked
Place cut up squirrel in a large pot and cover with water. Add salt, pepper and bay leaf. Bring to a boil and reduce heat. Simmer for 1 to 2 hours, or until meat begins to fall off the bone, adding water as necessary. When done, remove bay leaf and discard. Remove squirrel pieces and allow to cool. Remove meat from bones and return meat to pot. Add rice, bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer for about 30 minutes or until rice is done.
Squirrel Dumplings
3 squirrels, cut up
1 egg
2 cups plain flour
3/4 cups broth
1 teaspoon salt
salt and pepper
Boil squirrels in four guarts of water until tender. Remove squirrels from broth, let cool, then remove meat from bones. Set aside. In large bowl, mix flour, egg, and one teaspoon of salt wtih 3/4 cup of broth and roll into a ball. Strain broth to remove any stray shot then resume boil. Return meat to boiling broth. On a floured cutting boards, use a rolling pin to roll the dough ball to a thickness of 1/16 inch. Cut into 1-inch wide strips and drop strips one at a time into boiling broth. Gently shake pot after last dumpling is added to prevent sticking. Cook approximately 10-15 minutes until dumpings are tender. Salt and pepper to taste.
