Fabiennes Bison Meatballs Recipes

FABIENNE'S BISON MEATBALLS

Steps:

• Mix bison, mustard, oregano, cumin, onion powder, paprika, sage, and celery salt together in a bowl. Form meatballs approximately 1 1/2-inch diameter in size.
• Heat olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat, swirling to cover bottom of the skillet. Add meatballs and cook undisturbed, about 4 minutes. Continue to cook, turning meatballs until browned evenly on all sides, about 6 minutes more. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C).

MIGHTY MAC AND BISON MEATBALLS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
• Mix bison, turkey and eggs in a bowl and stir by hand until well combined. Mix kale, onion and garlic in another bowl until well combined, then stir by hand into the bison, turkey and egg mixture. Mix yeast, oat flour, oregano, fennel seeds, red pepper flakes and salt in a bowl, then add into the wet mixture, stirring by hand until evenly incorporated.
• Roll into 1.5-ounce balls and space evenly on lined cookie sheet. Bake until internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F, 15 to 17 minutes. Serve with Chimichurri Sauce and Mighty Mac.
• Combine parsley, cilantro, lemon juice, oil, oregano, pepper flakes, salt and garlic in a food processor and pulse until the cilantro and parsley are finely chopped, 3 to 4 minutes. Allow to sit for 30 minutes prior to serving to allow the flavors to meld. Use immediately or store in the refrigerator for up to 10 days.
• Start roux in a large saucepan by combining squash, broth and milk and cook until squash is softened and beginning to fall apart, 10 to 15 minutes. Pour the mixture into a blender and blend until smooth. In a large pot, bring 6 quarts water and the olive oil to a boil. Meanwhile, return the roux mixture to the saucepan on low heat and add butter, stirring until the butter is melted, 5 to 7 minutes, then remove from heat. With the water at a boil, pour chickpea noodles in and cook, stirring frequently, for 11 minutes. Meanwhile, add the cheese to the roux, off heat, stirring frequently until cheese is fully melted and incorporated, about 5 minutes. Add the salt and nutmeg to the roux and stir well. Once the noodles have been cooked, strain well and return to the large pot, then pour in the cheesy roux and combine well.
• Disclaimer: When blending hot liquid, first let it cool for five minutes or so, then transfer it to a blender, filling only halfway. Put the lid on, leaving one corner open. Cover the lid with a kitchen towel to catch splatters, and pulse until smooth.
