Squirrel Picadillo

Post by HunterGKS »

Another dish going to The Roost next Friday for fall turkey season.

Ingredients:

1 can (16 ounces) whole tomatoes, chopped
1/2 cup golden raisins
1 tablespoon chopped green chilies
1 teaspoon sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/8 teaspoon ground red pepper
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2-3 deboned squirrels
1/2 cup chopped onion
Hot cooked rice
1/4 cup sliced almonds

Directions:

Step 1: Mix together the tomatoes, raisins, chilies, sugar, cinnamon, salt, cumin and red pepper in a small bowl; set aside.

Step 2: Parboil the squirrels until tender. Debone and place in a large skillet. Add the onion. Cook and stir onion 2 to 3 minutes until soft. Drain off the excess fat.

Step 3: Add the tomato mixture. Reduce the heat to medium. Cover and cook for about 15 minutes or until the squirrel is fork-tender. Uncover and cook for 5 minutes longer. Add the remaining ingredients from Step 1 & cook until hot.

Serve the squirrel & sauce over the hot cooked rice. Sprinkle with almonds.

Soooo. Extra Virgin Olive Oil.

Does that mean it has never even considered sex before?

There are no numbers on any of my clocks below 8. Then all of a sudden, 2 days before turkey season they appear. Then right after the season they disappear.
What's up with that
