Title: Groundhog Stew
Categories: Game, Vegetables, Potatoes
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.
