      Title: Roasted Squirrel
 Categories: Game, Pork, Wine, Dairy, Chilies
      Yield: 2 Servings
 
      2    Average-size squirrels; skin
           - off cleaned and beheaded
           Streaky bacon to wrap the
           - tree rats
      2 lg Sweet onions; sliced thick

MMMMM--------------------------MARINADE-------------------------------
      6 cl Garlic; peeled
    1/2 c  Rosemary
    1/4 c  Sweet paprika
      1 tb Dried mint
    1/4 c  Lemon Juice
      1 c  Plain yoghurt
      2    Chilies; fine chopped
    1/2 c  Olive Oil
      1 pt Dry red wine
 
  Mix the marinade ingredients in a blender and pour over
  the squirrels, coating well inside and out. Use a skewer
  or knife point to put a few holes in the meaty parts to
  allow the marinade to penetrate the meat. Marinate at
  least eight hours, preferably overnight.
  
  Wrap the marinated squirrels in the bacon, securing it
  with toothpick or thin skewers.
  
  At this point you may spit roast the squirrels, placing
  the thick-sliced onion in the drip pan under the spit of
  your electric rotisserie. Baste the meat fairly often as
  it cooks and turns.
  
  Roast peeled new potatoes, baby carrots and large button
  mushrooms to the side of the grill.
  
  Or, you may pan roast the the squirrels in a slow oven
  (325ºF/160ºC) for 3 1/2 hours. After 2 1/2 hours place
  peeled new potatoes, baby carrots and some large button
  mushrooms around the meat. Return to the oven for 1/2
  hour. For the last half-hour pour all but 1/2 cup of the
  marinade over and raise the oven temperature to
  425ºF/220ºC.
  
  Rest the cooked squirrels for ten minutes, then serve
  with the veg and onions that have cooked with the meat.
  Add the reserved marinade to the pan juices and thicken
  with arrowroot, potato starch or cornflour.
  
  Serve the thickened marinade as a gravy.
  
  Serves two well
