My mom originally got a version of a hasenpfeffer recipe from her mother, who found it on the back of a box containing a frozen domestic rabbit. Growing up, my brothers and I ate countless squirrels and rabbits prepared in this fashion, and it remains one of our favorite small game preparations today.
I’ve made a few changes to the recipe over the years, particularly to tone down the vinegar and to thicken the sauce. It still serves as a pleasant and vivid reminder of chasing small game with my brothers.
If you know someone who’s reluctant to try squirrel, this timeless classic is likely to change their mind.
