SHTF cooking Ragout
If you're cooking game or lesser known meats such as squirrel, it might be best to make a ragout. Do you know what a ragout is? It's a French dish pronounced like ragu or "rag goo" and it's a little different from ragu. Ragu is similar but it's eaten over pasta and is Italian flavored.
Ragout is a stew made of any kind of meat, mushrooms, onion, and vegetables and any one or more of these will still be a ragout. It's generally made by frying and then ...flour added. Once the flour is completely wet by the fat, you add enough liquid until it makes a nice gravy. You can make it with bacon squares if you wish.
You generally serve ragout over or beside a carb rich food like potato, polenta, fried mush, or anything else you like. A ragout can be made with beef one day, with pork the next, and with squirrel the following day. No one really has to know what meat you're using and if you're without meat, just make it with vegetables and serve an egg on the plate next to it or else serve it over cheese grits.
