Prairie Oysters "Buffalo Bull Fries" with Herb Lemon Aioli
You may not believe me, but if I had to describe the flavor of this recipe with only one word, other than delicious, I would have to say elegant. That’s right, elegant.
Buffalo Pastrami and Peach Sandwich with Orange Aioli
This sandwich is terrific grilled, but also great as a cold sandwich. Just slice, stack and serve! (Makes 4 servings)
Bison Tenderloin Steaks at the White House
Because South Dakota bison steaks were the center of the plate for the 2013 Inaugural Luncheon, I was asked by a local newspaper to re-create the Bison portion of the menu. After reviewing the menu and the recipes, I decided to give the whole menu a try. Below are each of the recipes in their original form, with my notes in italics. It was great fun and a wonderful learning experience. I hope you enjoy some of the recipes too and have the opportunity to create your own Inaugural Meal, presidential or otherwise. Cheers! Jill (Makes 4 servings)
Grilled Jerk Buffalo Ribs
This recipe will work for both short ribs and back ribs with a little adjustment, which is noted below. You may want to double this recipe as seconds are often requested.
Coffee & Chili Rubbed Grilled Export Rib Roast with Redeye Bean Gravy
This most impressive, delicious roast should not be reserved just for holidays! So, fire up the grill and get ready to have the best Prime Rib of your life (that was the consensus at the dinner table)! Adjust cooking time based on the size of the rib roast. *I was feeding a hungry crowd, so I had no time to photograph before serving, but here are a couple of shots of the after meal.
Wild Idea Stuffed Bison Roast with Red Wine Gravy
I tested this recipe out on visiting guests, and it was a big success! Preping the roast will take a little effort, but a sharp filet knife will make it very manageable. The end result will be a very tender, medium roast, with a delicious, savory sausage stuffing and red wine gravy!
Pasta alla Carrettiera with Italian Buffalo Meatballs
This dish is named after the people who drove food and wine carts in Italy. It is a slightly spicy red sauce, with garlic and basil, and is typically served over a thicker style of pasta. My favorite rendition of this dish also had hints of parsley and mint, which made for lingering, memorable flavors. After a little research, and substituting a few of the more difficult to find ingredients with like alternatives, I thought I might be able to come close to duplicating it. The only thing missing was Wild Idea’s artisan, Italian Buffalo Sausage, and I knew just where to go for that. This simple dish is packed with flavor and very easy to prepare. The perfect solution, for a stress free, delicious dinner! (Serves 4)
Buffalo Irish Coddle
This traditional Irish dish was often made from leftovers, using whatever vegetables were available. Feel free to change to you liking or availability. The light broth allows the flavors of each ingredient to come through, and although hearty, is also light. And, it’s so good! Enjoy. (Serves 8)
