Directions:In a fry pan, dice 2 cup onion. Then add diced carrots and celery. This is a Mirepoix. Simmer these
ingredients in butter for an hour or so. Get the butter hot enough to “fry” the Vegies but not hot enough
to burn the butter. Best if it reduces for 45 minutes to an hour. When all ingredients have cooked soft,
either run them through a mixer OR pure’ them. This will make the Roux.
In Large Cast Iron pan, (It would be awesome to add Bacon grease to this as well) prepare some hot oil to
fry the Squirrel/Rabbit. About a 1-1/2”. . If you had enough, you could fry the whole thing in Bacon
Grease. Place another ˝ onion that has been sliced in the hot oil to “season the oil”. When the onion is
soft, remove and add to your Mirepoix.
Place the squirrel/Rabbit parts in a plastic bag and cover them in Sesame Oil. (It’s okay to use EVOO as
well). Then coat the parts in a mixture of ˝ Fry Magic and ˝ breadcrumbs. Once coated, put them into
the hot oil. Leave in ONLY long enough to fry the coating. You are not cooking the meat all the way
through and then set aside on a dish covered with paper towel to collect any grease. When complete,
poor off most of the oil from the pan. Do not worry about getting it all and do not scrape the pan. Leave
the crumbs in the bottom of the pan for additional flavor.
At this time, add your beef stock to the pan with the oil drippings along with the Cream of Mushroom
Soup and Mix together. Now add your Mirepoix to thicken. Bring to a slow boil. Add Salt, Pepper, and
Garlic to taste. This is your gravy. It should be the consistency of a normal gravy. You can thicken to your
liking but I would wait till done to do this.
Now it’s time to add your fried squirrel/Rabbit to your gravy. Push all parts as far down into the gravy as
you can. Cover, reduce heat and let simmer for 1 to 1-1/2 hours.
Prepare 2 cups rice and follow cooking directions.
When Main dish is done, serve over rice. Simply Delicious. |
