Hasenpfeffer (with squirrel)

[Weegee]

Got this from the Meateater Complete Guide vol. 2. Traditionally it's a rabbit dish, but I don't really hunt rabbits... so squirrel it is.
You brine the squirrel for 2-3 days in an apple cider vinegar brine. Then brown off the meat, add stock, and simmer for at least an hour. Serve over mashed potatoes. It is acidic and tart in a pleasant way.

This recipe isn't in the Meateater cookbook, it's in their guide to small game/waterfowl. But the cookbook is worth it, lots of good recipes in there!

Sign me up! May try to knock down some tree rats this weekend. Worst case, may find a few by defending my bird feeders. Will give this a try.

Hasenpfeffer with Squirrel or Rabbit

My mom originally got a version of a hasenpfeffer recipe from her mother, who found it on the back of a box containing a frozen domestic rabbit. Growing up, my brothers and I ate countless squirrels and rabbits prepared in this fashion, and it remains one of our favorite small game preparations...
