This is a favourite of my wife and kids in the wintertime and although its summer we're all sick so the boss requested it tonight.
I don't follow recipes, just go by feel when I cook and change it up based on what i have or if anyone is sick but I'll try to give you an idea.
I like this with Rabbit or if I don't have it chicken (tonight's was chicken). If rabbit I always brine it for 24 hours first before cooking. We don't have squirrel but I imagine it will work.
2lt stock chicken or game
1 rabbit or some chicken (2 breasts and thighs are plenty).
2 sticks of celery chopped
2 carrots chopped
1 leek chopped
1 onion chopped
Juice of a lemon (1/2 - 1 depending on how lemony I want it)
3 cobs of corn (1 of which I cut the corn off the cob)
Few garlic cloves, crushed with the side of a knife
Herbs from garden e.g. thyme, sage, rosemary
Few sorrel leaves
Crushed ginger
Coriander and cumin seed through the mortar and pestle
Salt and pepper.
Might be a few things extra i add or leave out but that's the gist. I chuck it all in the slow cooker for 3 hours ish. 10 mins before it's ready I soak some vermicelli noodles in boiling water and add them. Finally take out the meat, shred it with two forks and add it back in.
A good damper on the side with butter can't go wrong.
Food pics aren't my specially but I promise it's good.
