Bison Bourguignon

With local BC Mushrooms

Bison (sometimes called buffalo) are the largest land animal in North America, and are a part of the same family as cattlebovidae. Bison are not just a traditional food source, but they were also a critical resource for survival, used for trade, tools, clothing, and shelter.

Bison meat is similar to beef but has a stronger flavour and a sweet undertone. Traditionally bison is roasted, boiled, smoked or dried.

&紳莉莽梯;I ate a lot of stew growing up, it is one of my favourite comfort foods. Being so versatile it can be made with caribou, moose, venison, bison or vegetables. It is a dish that can be made in the comforts of your home or on the open fire at your familys cabin. It is also a great way to use up your ingredients and feed a big family. As Indigenous people we like to use what we have, whats around us.
