Johnsfolly Posted July 4, 2017 Posted July 4, 2017 Got out some frozen squirrels that we had squirrelled away back in Feb. Tried to get a couple of fresh ones, but no luck. These squirrels met a reprise of Hank Shaw's Sichuan rabbit recipe that I substituted the squirrel. Braised the squirrels in chicken broth (instead of water), soy sauce, onion, and ginger. They cooked at 300 deg for about 3 hours and were off the bone tender. I let the meat cool and then picked as much off the bones as possible. also removed any shot that I could find (My betterhalf did find one the hard way). I added sliced onions and julienned carrots to the recipe. I cooked the carrots and onions then heated the meat. Once the carrots were cooked, I removed the meat, carrots and onions before making the sauce. Sauce consisted of chili bean paste, black bean paste, sesame oil, and olive oil. Mixed the sauce with the meat and served over jasmine infused rice and topped with green onions and toasted peanut and sesame seeds. grizwilson, BilletHead and Mitch f 3
Johnsfolly Posted July 5, 2017 Posted July 5, 2017 I hope that everyone had a safe and happy Fourth! I finally got the nerve and the meat to try our hand at smoking ribs in the gas smoker the family gave me for father's day (Ok it was last Father's day!).My rub consisted of brown sugar, granulated garlic, thyme, Asian five spice, smoked paprika, and S&P. Had trouble getting the heat where I wanted (250 deg) and it kept creeping up to 275 to 300 deg. So the ribs cooked for about 4 1/4 hours. I cooked a slab of baby back and a slab of St Louis style ribs. I also added partially baked potatoes into the smoker and they went into potato salad that my oldest daughter made. Served the ribs with the potato salad and baked beans. Added a bit of Billethead brand BBQ sauce from Vernon CO Missouri to mine. After I suggested that my betterhalf and kids try that sauce as well, the packaged BBQ sauce never got opened . ness, BilletHead, Mitch f and 1 other 4
MOPanfisher Posted July 5, 2017 Posted July 5, 2017 Wish I had taken a photo, but was in way too much of a hurry to eat. Wife made some bacon weaves, just the size of a slice of bread and popped them.in the oven. While that was cooking we sliced up a zuchini right out of the garden and mixed up a sort of tempura batter, and fried the slices. Ended up as a BZT. Bacon, Zuchini, and Tomato sammich. Cease dressing for extra flavor. Sadly the tomato was a store bought one, but soon that too will be out of the garden. If I could figure out how to grow bacon plants it would be perfect! ness, BilletHead and Johnsfolly 3

Now to the BBQ sauce, is it Folly tribe approved?

Johnsfolly Posted July 6, 2017 Posted July 6, 2017 Squirrel was fantastic! Great recipe! Wish that I could say that I made this dish on my own. Would be good with rabbit if we had any that we could eat. Livie wouldn't be happy if Miss Puffington or Bun Bun ended up in the dutch oven. Billethead BBQ sauce got a rousing thumbs up from the Folly family☺! We have also been enjoying the gooseberry jam. Mitch f and BilletHead 2
