Our stew was nothing too special. Some onions and garlic fried in butter, celery, potatoes, frozen tomatoes from our summer harvest, and the squirrels, lovingly busted up into smaller pieces and herbs were placed in a large pot on a slow simmer for the afternoon.
The result was quite nice. The kids liked it, which is always a good sign! I served the stew with my favourite biscuits.
Oat Biscuit Recipe
Ingredients:
2 cups oat flour
5 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
3 TBSP oil
2 TBSP maple syrup
1/2 cup water
Directions:
Mix dry ingredients. Mix oil and maple syrup in a separate container. Add to dry ingredients and mix. Add water until soft dough is formed. Spoon dough onto a greased cookie tray. Flatten with a fork. Bake at 425˚ F for 15-20 min.
Wow! This is awesome! Will you father-in-law keep you in steady supply of the squirrels? We don’t eat a lot of meat but we are not vegetarian either. I think if you eat meat, ideally you would kill it yourself like this.
Yes, we are of the same mind about meat. Rob has been learning more about restoration agriculture, which is also a very enticing idea (if we had the land for it!)
Ohhhh, I like the sound of that. I’m just now reading about perennial wheat (what used to grow in the Great Plains) versus annual wheat (what grows now).
Wonderful! On Restoration Agriculture, if you haven’t seen the Allan Savory TED talk, I recommend it 😉 Here’s the link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vpTHi7O66pI
Thank you so much. I will check this out.
