Recipe to cook Buffalo, Turnip, and Berry Ragout. This historic recipe from the Lewis and Clark expedition feature buffalo meat and healthy blueberries.
Ingredients
- 1 pound buffalo stew meat, cut into 1 1/2 inch cubes
- 1/3 cup stone-ground cornmeal
- 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 to 3 tablespoons vegetable oil or other fat
- 3 to 4 turnips, peeled and cut into eighths
- 1 medium onion, peeled and quartered
- 1 cup fresh or 1/2 cup dried blueberries
Directions
- Toss the buffalo cubes in a mixture of the cornmeal, salt, and pepper. Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a heavy 3-quart Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the buffalo and brown on all sides, stirring often, for 5 to 7 minutes, adding additional oil if needed. Reduce the heat to medium if the meat browns too fast. Stir in 22 cups of water, the turnips, onions, and blueberries. Bring to a boil. Cover and turn the heat to low. Simmer for 1 to 1 1/2 hours, stirring and basting regularly. Serve immediately.
