in oil until wilted. Replace squirrel in skillet; cover and cook slowly
about 20 minutes or until squirrel is tender. Add rice and water. Stir
thoroughly. Add salt. Cook slowly about 30 minutes or until rice is cooked.
Hugg's Note: Browning rice in hot oil, almost as one makes a roux but more
golden, gives a distinctive taste and appearance to jambalaya. Tried and
proven! Also for: Add more than 1 squirrel or use wildfowl, rabbit, nutria
