     Title: Groundhog Stew
Categories: Game, Vegetables, Potqatoes
     Yield: 4 servings

     1    Woodchuck/groundhog; skinned
          - scent glands removed
     3 md Carrots
     3    Potatoes
   1/4 c  Butter
     1 lg Onion; diced
     2 tb A-P flour

 Quarter the woodchuck and place the pieces in a large
 pot with enough cold water to cover the meat.

 Boil it for 10 minutes, then discard the water, refill
 the pan, and bring the liquid to a boil again.

 Lower the heat and let the contents simmer for about 1
 to 1 1/2 hours.

 Add the carrots and potatoes and continue cooking the
 stew for about another 30 minutes - until the meat is
 tender and separates easily from the bone. By this time,
 you should be able to pierce the vegetables readily with
 a fork.

 Now, strain the liquid and put it into a clean pot.

 Remove the meat from the bones and cut it, as well as
 the potatoes and carrots, into bite-sized pieces.

 Melt the butter in a large, heavy skillet, add the diced
 onion, and cook it for 5 minutes. Then add the flour and
 stir the mixture until it bubbles - put in the reserved
 liquid and blend the brew some more until it thickens .
 . . and, when that happens, combine the vegetables and
 meat, mixing the whole concoction thoroughly.

 Bring the stew to a full boil. That’s it! If you like,
 you can also add dumpling batter to the broth in
 spoonfuls, cover the pot tightly, and cook the tasty
 meal for an additional 12 minutes.
