Recipes & Videos
Braised Squirrel with Wild Mushrooms & Root Vegetables: Prep the meat: Season squirrel pieces with salt and pepper, then dust lightly with flour. Brown the squirrel: Heat oil in a heavy pan or casserole dish. Brown the squirrel on all sides until golden; remove and set aside. Cook the vegetables: In the same pan, sauté onion, carrot, and celery until softened. Add garlic and mushrooms; cook until the mushrooms start to brown. Deglaze & simmer: Pour in the wine or cider, scraping up any browned bits. Let it reduce by half. Add stock, mustard, thyme, and bay leaf. Return squirrel pieces to the pan. Braise gently: Cover and simmer on low heat (or in a 160°C / 325°F oven) for about 1 hour, until the meat is tender and starts to pull away from the bone. Finish & serve: Remove the lid and let the sauce reduce slightly. (Optional) Stir in a splash of cream for richness. Serve with mashed potatoes, polenta, or crusty bread.
Why It Works
- The slow braise tenderizes squirrel’s lean meat perfectly.
- Mushrooms and mustard bring earthy and tangy depth.
- The result is rustic yet refined — like something from a countryside gastropub.
