Braised Squirrel Aurora
If you have an old squirrel, which you can tell by the teeth, which are yellowy and separated, or by the ears, which are tattered, or by the feet, which look well-worn, braising is a must. Squirrels can live several years, unlike cottontail rabbits, which typically only last a year or so. This makes their meat a bit more complex and considerable denser. But an old squirrel can be tough if not braised. I almost always cook squirrels with some sort of nut sauce. Call me macabre. It's a luxurious, thick stew that cries out for crusty bread. The combination of almonds and olives is also a hit.
