1 egg
1 tsp (5ml) Dijon mustard
1 tsp (5ml) prepared horseradish 
1/4 cup (60ml) seasoned bread crumbs

4-6 cloves garlic, chopped
1 tsp (5ml) dried thyme
2 tbsp (30ml) butter
2 tbsp (30ml) Canadian Whiskey 
Salt and pepper to taste 

450g (2 sheets) frozen puff pastry 
1 egg, whisked with 1 tbsp water

Divide the bison into four equal patties, and form into a slight cylinder shape. Place one patty on four of the squares of puff pastry. Divide the duxelles into four portions. Spoon evenly over each bison patty, and use your fingers to mould the mushroom mixture around the bison, creating a thin, even layer on top. Brush egg wash around each patty. Top with remaining squares of puff pastry, and use a decorative design to tightly seal the pastry. Cut a small slit in the top for steam to escape. 
Preheat grill (or oven) to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Place Wellingtons on a parchment-lined baking tray, and grill over indirect heat (or in an oven) for 45 minutes to 1 hour, until golden browned.

Ingredients
2 x 226g (8oz) inside round Noble Premium Bison steaks
2 eggs, beaten
2 tbsp milk
1 cup all purpose flour 
1 tsp salt
1 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
1 tsp onion powder 
Black pepper to taste 

For the gravy:
1/4 cup unsalted butter
1 large onion, chopped 
1/4 cup flour 
2 cups milk
Black pepper to taste
1/4 tsp garlic powder 
Chives, for garnish 

Directions:

In a small saucepan, melt butter over medium high heat. Add onions and cook for about 5 minutes, until the onions are starting to get browned on the edges. Add the flour, and cook for another minute. Add remaining ingredients. Turn heat to low, and continue cooking for another 3-4 minutes. 
In a shallow bowl, combine the egg with the milk. Season to taste. In a separate shallow bowl, combine the flour with spices. Using a meat mallet, pound the steaks to 1/4 inch thickness. Pro Tip: if you don’t have a meat mallet, drape plastic wrap over the steaks and use a rolling pin!

Makes 1 baguette
Prep time: 10 minutes 
Grill Time: 13-15 minutes
Total Time: 23-25 minutes 

Ingredients
2 tbsp olive oil
2 sweet bell peppers, sliced 
1 large yellow onions, sliced 
BBQ rub to taste 
1 large baguette 
4-5 sausages
4 slices of havarti cheese 

Directions:

In a frying pan over medium high heat, sauté onions and peppers until fully cooked and lightly browned. Season with BBQ rub to taste. Remove from heat and set aside. Remove sausages from their casings, and set aside. 
Slice the top of the baguette. Hollow out the bottom half, trying to remove as much of the bread as possible. Put the peppers and onions in the bottom of the bread, followed by the cheese. Take a sausage and flatten it out as much as possible. Smear it across the top of the baguette, and try to smear it into the sides of the bread as much as possible. This will ensure that everything holds together on the grill. Preheat grill to high heat - 475-450 degrees. Once the grill is preheated, flip the baguette onto the grill in one swift motion, so the sausage is facing down on the grill grates. Allow to cook for until the sausage is nicely browned, and it pulls away from the grill - about 7-8 minutes. Flip, and transfer the baguette to indirect heat. With the lid down, allow the baguette to continue crisping up for 5 more minutes. Remove from grill. Allow to cool slightly before cutting into thick slices.

First, combine all ingredients for the BBQ sauce in a small saucepan.
Simmer on low for 15 minutes. Allow to cool slightly before blending into a smooth, rich sauce. Set aside. 
Use a paper towel to remove the thin membrane from the underside of each rack of ribs. Generously coat all racks in the mustard. Sprinkle on BBQ rub, ensuring the racks and well coated on the top and underside.
Preheat grill or smoker to 300 degrees Fahrenheit. Choose a fruit wood (or pellets) like apple or peach for smoking the ribs. Smoke ribs over indirect heat for 1.5 hours. Spritz each rack with grape juice. Remove each rack from the grill, and place each one on their own piece of butcher paper. Top with a few cubes of butter. Spritz again, and wrap them up. Place each wrapped rack back on the smoker, with the folded side underneath, for another 1.5 hours. Remove all racks from the butcher paper and return them to the grill. Brush on some of the blueberry BBQ sauce, and continue smoking for another 15 minutes. Brush some more on, and smoke again for an additional 15 minutes. Finally, pull them off and rest the racks for 10 minutes before serving.

Top with the queso, followed by the corn chips, then the sour cream, lettuce, tomatoes, and finally the cheese. Top with the small tortilla cut-out. Tightly fold the edges around the centre, creating pleats. Preheat griddle to high heat and oil lightly. Place the wraps seam side down and griddle for 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown. 

Serves 2

Prep Time: 15 minutes 
Grill Time: 20-30 minutes 
Total Time: 35-45 minutes 

Ingredients
For the Caesar dressing: 
½ cup (125ml) mayonnaise 
2-3 anchovy fillets
2 cloves garlic 
1 tbsp (15ml) Dijon mustard
1 tbsp (15ml) lemon juice 
1 tbsp (15ml) capers
1 tsp (5ml) Worcestershire sauce 
¼ cup (60ml) Parmesan cheese 
Pepper to taste 

1 8oz (226g) Noble Premium Bison Steak (Ribeye, Striploin or Top Sirloin)
1 head of romaine lettuce, with the bottom cut off, washed and dried 
¼ cup (60ml) Parmesan cheese, shredded 
¼ of a baguette, thinly sliced and grilled 
1 small shallot, finely sliced 
Lemon wedges and capers, for garnish 

Directions:

Combine all ingredients for the dressing into a blender. Blend until smooth. Set aside.

Set up your grill for indirect cooking – with a hot side, and a cool side. Adjust your dampers so that the temperature of your grill is hovering just above 200 degrees Fahrenheit. Pat the steak with a paper towel to absorb moisture. Season on both sides with salt and pepper. Place the steak on the cool side of the grill, and shut the lid. Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the steak. If you like your steak medium rare, pull it off at rare (120 degrees Fahrenheit) as it will continue to climb in temperature when you sear it. Once it reaches your desired internal temperature, throw it directly on the coals for a few seconds per side, until you get a nice, crusty brown exterior. Allow to rest before slicing.
To assemble the salad, place romaine leaves on a wooden board, and top with remaining ingredients, finishing with the sliced steak. Drizzle some of the dressing on top. 

Makes: 4 slices

Prep Time: 10 minutes 
Griddle Time: 20 minutes 
Total Time: 30 minutes 

Ingredients
Half a French loaf, cut into 4 thick slices 
Butter (for spreading on the griddle)
1 onion, finely sliced 
1 large chicken breast, cut into small cubes
1/2 lb bacon, chopped
2 cups cheddar cheese 
BBQ rub

For the BBQ Ranch:
1 cup mayo
1/2 cup sour cream
1/2 cup buttermilk
1 packet Hidden Valley Ranch Seasoning 
1/2 cup BBQ Sauce 

Directions:

Preheat griddle to medium high heat on all burners. Start with cooking the bacon until lightly golden, then add the chicken and onions. Sprinkle with BBQ rub. Griddle until golden browned - about 10-15 minutes. Using a cold block of butter, smear the block across the surface of the left side of the bacon and chicken mixture. Add the slices of bread, and griddle until lightly browned, about  5 minutes per side. Turn off burners under bread, and bacon and chicken mixture. Add the cheese to the griddle on the bare right side, in 4 separate piles. Divide the chicken and bacon mixture over top each pile of cheese, followed by a slice of the bread. When the cheese is dark on the edges, push the bread down and flip it over onto a plate. As the cheese cools, it’ll harden slightly and become incredibly crunchy, and delicious! Combine all ingredients for the BBQ ranch, and serve on the side for dipping!

Serves 3-4 

Ingredients:
3-4 tbsp butter or olive oil
1 lb chipped ham
BBQ sauce:
1 cup ketchup 
1/4 cup relish 
2 tsp apple cider vinegar 
2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
2 tsp maple syrup
1/2 tsp onion powder 
1/2 tsp paprika 
1 tsp BBQ Rub (we used Uncle Steve’s Gator Shake)

Preheat all burners of griddle to medium high heat. Melt butter (or olive oil) and brush across the surface of the griddle. Place onions, pierogi and ham in three separate areas of the griddle. This allows you to control each item, as they all will have different cook times. Sprinkle some BBQ rub on the pierogi, and onions. Using tongs, break up the ham as much as possible. Griddle until lightly browned - about 10 minutes. Add sauce. Turn burners below ham off while the pierogi continue to cook. Stir onions occasionally until golden browned. Cook pierogi until lightly browned on each side - about 6-7 minutes per side. Add cheese. To serve - place some of the pierogi in a bowl. Top with some of the onions, and the ham. Garnish with green onions.

Makes 4 mini burgers
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Grill Time: 4-6 minutes
Total Time: 14-16 minutes

Ingredients

For the burgers:
226g (8oz) lean ground Noble Premium Bison 
1 green onion, finely minced
1 tsp (5ml) fresh ginger, grated 
1 tsp (5ml) toasted sesame oil
1 tsp (5ml) gochugaru paste 
1 clove garlic, minced 
1/4 cup (60ml) seasoned panko bread crumbs 
1 tsp (5ml) tamari 
1 egg 

For the slaw:
1 mini sweet red pepper, thinly sliced
1 mini sweet yellow pepper, thinly sliced
1 mini sweet orange pepper, thinly sliced 
1/4 cup (60ml) thinly sliced cucumber
Half a small red onion, thinly sliced
1/4 cup (60ml) fresh cilantro, chopped
Juice of one lime
1 tsp (5ml) honey
1 tsp (5ml) toasted sesame oil 
Salt and pepper to taste 

For the mayo:
2 tbsp (30ml) kimchi, finely chopped
1/4 cup (60ml) mayo 
Sesame seed mini slider buns, for serving 

Directions:

Combine ingredients for the coleslaw in a large bowl. Cover and refrigerate until ready to assemble burgers. In a medium-sized bowl, add all ingredients for the burgers, lightly mixing until just combined. Form into four small patties. Pro Tip: Place on a parchment-lined cookie sheet in the freezer for 10 minutes while the grill preheats to be able to transfer them onto the grill easier! Preheat grill to high heat (between 450-475 degrees Fahrenheit). Ensure the grill preheats for at least 10 minutes so the burgers don’t stick. Grill over direct heat for 2-3 minutes per side. While the burgers are resting (for a couple minutes), combine the kimchi and mayo. To assemble, toast buns and spread some of the mayo on both sides. Add one of the patties and as much of the coleslaw as you can fit on top! Finish with the top of the bun, and you’ve got the perfect summertime hand-held treat 

Makes 4 large skewers 
Prep Time: 10 minutes 
Grill Time: 3-4 minutes 
Total time: 13-14 minutes 

Ingredients

For the jerk rub:
1 tsp (5ml) garlic powder
1 tsp (5ml) dried thyme leaves
1/2 tsp (2.5ml) onion powder
1 tsp (5ml) coconut sugar 
1/4 tsp (1ml) cayenne pepper 
1/8 tsp (0.5ml) ground ginger 
1/8 tsp (0.5ml) allspice 
1/8 tsp (0.5ml) ground cloves
1/8 tsp (0.5ml) smoked paprika
1/8 tsp (0.5ml) nutmeg 
1/4 tsp (1ml) salt (more or less to taste)
1/4 tsp (1ml) red chili flakes (more or less to taste)
Black pepper to taste 

1 x 226g package Noble Premium Bison Steak Cubes
2 tbsp (30ml) olive oil 
Zest and juice of two limes 
2 jalapeño peppers, cut into half-inch pieces (or green bell pepper for a less spicy option!)

1/2 red onion, cut into half inch pieces 
1 cup (250ml) fresh pineapple, chopped into half-inch pieces 
1/2 cup (125ml) chopped cilantro, for garnish 

Directions:

Preheat grill to HIGH heat - between 450-500 degrees Fahrenheit. Make sure you allow the grill to preheat for at least 10 minutes. This will ensure our kebabs won’t stick to the grill. In the meantime, combine all spices for the jerk rub. Add remaining ingredients into a large bowl, and toss well to ensure all the meat and vegetables are coated evenly in the rub. Cover, and allow to marinate in the fridge for 1-2 hours. Using metal skewers, skewer on the vegetables and meat, alternating between the different colours as you please. Grill over direct heat for 3-4 minutes per side. Top with chopped cilantro. 

Makes 2 double smash burgers 
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Grill Time: 10 minutes
Total Time: 20 minutes 

Ingredients

2 x 226g packages lean ground Noble Premium Bison
4 white onions, cut into thin rings
Salt and pepper
2 slices your favourite Ontario Cheese (we used a peppery cheddar from Prince Edward County)
1/2 cup (125ml) fresh morel mushrooms (or 1/4 cup dried)
1 tbsp (15ml) butter
2 brioche buns
Fresh pea shoots 

Truffle mayo:
1/4 cup mayonnaise 
1 tsp truffle powder (or truffle oil)
1/2 tsp onion powder 

Directions:

 Form bison into four equal balls. Set aside. Sauté morels over medium high heat in the butter until lightly browned, about 1-2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside. 

Preheat grill to high heat - between 450-500 degrees F. Use a flat top plate insert, and ensure it’s preheated for at least 10 minutes before beginning to cook. This is what will give us a nice brown crusty exterior to our patties. Oil the surface of the flattop. Cook onions with the lid down until lightly browned - about 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally. Arrange onions in four equal mounds. Place one bison ball over top of each mound. Using a flat press, press into each bison ball, getting them as flat as you can. Season with salt and pepper. Allow bison to brown on one side for about 5 minutes. Flip, season with salt and pepper and cook for another 5 minutes. Place a slice of cheese on two of the burgers, and allow to melt. Remove all burgers from the heat.

Salt and pepper to taste 
Handful of arugula 
For serving: amaranth, rice, or quinoa (optional)

Directions:

Preheat grill to high heat - about 450-500 degrees Fahrenheit. Ensure you allow the grill to preheat for 10-12 minutes to ensure your food will not stick to the grill. 
Meanwhile, to make the reverse marinade, whisk together all ingredients in a shallow bowl. Set aside. 
To make the salad: In a medium sized bowl, combine all ingredients for the salad, except the asparagus. Now we’re ready to grill!
Oil the steak and season with salt and pepper to taste. Over direct heat, place the asparagus and bison steak on the grill. Do not touch the steak, but use grill tongs to continuously move the asparagus around while the steak cooks. Flip the steak after 4-5 minutes. Once the steak is flipped, remove the asparagus from the grill. Continue cooking the steak for another 1-2 minutes, or until your desired internal temperature is reached (130-135 degrees Fahrenheit for medium rare). Remove from the grill, and rest for 10 minutes before slicing, and placing into the reverse marinade. Allow the meat to marinate until ready to serve. 
Roughly chop the asparagus and add it the rest of the salad ingredients. 
To serve, place some of the salad over a bed of your favourite rice/grain. Top it with some of the salad, and thin slices of the bison. Drizzle with some of the reverse marinade.

Makes: 12 donuts

Prep Time: 15 minutes 
Grill Time: 7-9 minutes 
Total Time: 22-24 minutes 

We LOVE the irresistible combination of prunes and dark chocolate in these donuts! Without the addition of ANY refined sugar, they are moist, fluffy, and earthy with just the slightest hint of smoke flavour. Prunes lend a beautifully rich colour, flavour, and moistness to these easy-to-make smoked donuts. 

Ingredients

For the prune purée:
1 1/4 cups half n half whipping cream
1 cup lightly packed California prunes 

For the donuts:
1 2/3 cups all purpose flour 
2 tsp baking powder
1/8 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
4 tbsp butter, melted
2 tbsp vegetable oil
2 tsp vanilla
1/2 cup finely chopped prunes 
1 cup of the prune purée 
1/2 tsp apple cider vinegar 
2 eggs

For the ganache:
Remaining 1/2 cup prune purée 
1 cup chopped dark chocolate, melted 

Directions:

1. Preheat grill to 425 degrees Fahrenheit. If using a pellet grill, we recommend using apple pellets for this recipe. Lightly oil or spray donut pans, set aside. 
2. Add cream and prunes to a high speed blender, and blend until smooth - about 3-4 minutes, scraping down the sides as necessary. 
3. In a medium-sized bowl, mix dry ingredients. 
4. In a large-sized bowl, mix wet ingredients. 
5. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, and stir to combine, being careful not to over mix. The batter will look thick. 
6. Spoon mixture into a large freezer bag, and use a pair of kitchen scissors to snip off one corner of the bag. 
7. Pipe the mixture evenly amongst the donut pans. 
8. Grill over indirect heat for 7-9 minutes, until the batter springs back to the touch. 
9. Let cool for a couple minutes in the pan before turning out onto a cooling rack. Cool completely.
10. Meanwhile, combine melted chocolate with the remaining prune purée. Place in fridge for 2-3 minutes to solidify. 
11. Using a butter knife, smear a bit of the ganache on top of each donut. 

Makes: 12-14 mini biscuits

Ingredients

For the biscuits:
2 cups all purpose flour
1 tbsp baking powder
1/4 tsp baking soda
2 tbsp sugar
6 tbsp cold butter, cut into small cubes 
1 tsp vanilla 
3/4 cup buttermilk (a bit more for brushing on top)
Cinnamon sugar (equal parts)

For the Jam:
2 cups frozen mixed berries (cherries, blueberries and blackberries)
2 green apples, peeled and finely
2 tbsp agave syrup
1 tbsp chia seeds 
Juice of two small mandarin oranges 
1 tsp vanilla 
Pinch of salt 

For serving:
Whipped cream, fresh berries, mint

Directions:

First, lets make the jam - you’ll be so shocked at how simple it is to make homemade jam without loads of sugar! Combine all ingredients, except the chia seeds, in a medium sized sauce pan. Simmer over medium heat for 15-20 minutes, until the fruit has broken down. Turn off heat and add chia seeds. Allow to cool - THAT’S IT! 
To make the biscuits, combine the dry ingredients in a large bowl. Using a pastry blender (or your hands!) blend the cold butter pieces in. The texture you’re looking for here are little, pea sized pieces of butter throughout the dry ingredients. Add in the buttermilk and vanilla and stir until JUST combined. Dump the mixture onto a cutting board, and form into a 1/2 inch rectangle. Cut out biscuits - we used a small mini biscuit cutter, but you can make them any size/shape you’d like! Place onto a parchment lined baking tray. Brush a little buttermilk on each one, and a sprinkling of cinnamon sugar. Bake in a 450 degree preheated grill, over indirect heat, for 10-12 minutes, until the tops and bottoms are lightly browned. To serve, top each biscuit with a bit of the jam, and some whipped cream. Top with fresh berries and mint.

1/3 cup bread crumbs 
1 1/2 cups pulled pork 

Raspberry glaze:
2 tbsp raspberry jam 
2 tbsp ketchup 
1 tbsp soy 
1 tsp apple cider vinegar 

Directions:

In a bowl, combine ground beef with BBQ rub, sauce and bread crumbs. Mix to combine. Portion into 8 equal meatballs. Flatten each meatball into a disk, as if you were making a hamburger patty. Place a small amount of the pulled pork into the centre of the disk, and form the edges together around the pulled pork. Use your palms to re-roll the ball with the pulled pork inside. Whisk together all the ingredients for the glaze. Brush on each meatball. Preheat grill to 400 degrees F. Grill meatballs over indirect heat for 15 minutes. Brush the remaining sauce on top, and grill for an additional 15 minutes.

For the potato mixture: boil potatoes and sweet potatoes in salted water until tender - about 15-20 minutes. Mash, add butter and season to taste. Set aside to cool before spooning into a freezer bag. Cut the tip of the corner for easy piping! 

For the vegetable layer:
Boil vegetables for 1-2 minutes. Drain. Add butter. Season to taste. 

For the pulled pork mixture: Melt butter in a pan over medium heat. Add onion and garlic, and cook for 1-2 minutes. Add the pulled pork, and remaining ingredients. Cook for another minute or two. Set aside.

Roll out puff pastry and use a small cookie cutter to cut out 14-16 circles to fit the bottom of your silicone muffin tins. 

To assemble: place a puff pastry circle in the bottom of each muffin cup. Add a small amount of the pulled pork mixture, followed by the vegetable mixture. Pipe on the potato mixture in whichever way you’d like - we like to pretend we’re icing a savoury, delicious, BBQ cake! 

Preheat grill to 425-450 degrees Fahrenheit. Place shepherds pies on a tin foil lined baking tray for easy clean up. Place over indirect heat for 35-40 minutes, until the tops are slightly browned.

In a bowl, combine all ingredients for the bison sausage patties. Form into four equal patties. Place each patty on a parchment lined baking sheet, pressing them to 1/4 inch in thickness. Pro tip: Place the tray in the freezer for 5-10 minutes. This will allow the patties to firm up slightly, and make transferring them onto the grill easier! Preheat grill to 450-500 degrees Fahrenheit. Grill patties over direct heat until an internal temperature of 150-155 degrees Fahrenheit is achieved for medium well - approximately 5-6 minutes per side. 

To make the hollandaise: 
Add all ingredients except the melted butter to a blender, and blend on high for 15-20 seconds until fully blended. Then, with the blender on high speed, slowly add the melted butter, in a consistent, steady stream (carefully using the small opening in the blender lid). Blend for another 40-45 seconds. 

To serve, place a slice of baguette on a plate. Top with some rapini, one bison patty, one poached egg, a good dollop of the hollandaise, and garnish with a little more sun dried tomato and capers. Talk about Sunday brunch at its finest!

Makes 2 servings

Ingredients

3-4 medium sized yellow potatoes, cut into wedges
2 tbsp (30ml) olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste 

For bison gravy:
1 tbsp (15ml) butter
1 medium onion, finely chopped 
226g lean ground Noble Premium Bison 
1 bay leaf 
1 tbsp (15ml) Worcestershire sauce 
1 tbsp (15ml) BBQ sauce 
1 cup (250ml) beef stock 
1 tbsp (15ml) corn starch mixed with 2 tbsp cold water
Salt and pepper to taste 

For the ‘black’ onions:
2 small yellow onions, quartered with the stems intact
1-2 tbsp (15-30ml) balsamic vinegar
Salt and pepper to taste 

1/4 cup (60ml) blue cheese, crumbled
1/2 cup (125ml) cheese curds 

To garnish (optional): balsamic glaze, chives, arugula sprouts

Directions:

To make the wedges, preheat oven (or grill) to 425 degrees Fahrenheit. Toss potatoes with oil, and season to taste. Place in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking tray and roast in the oven until crisp - about 40-45 minutes, flipping once.

To make the bison gravy:
Melt the butter in a saucepan on medium heat. Add onions and bison, season to taste. Cook until browned - about 10 minutes. Add the bay leaf, Worcestershire sauce, BBQ sauce and beef stock and allow to cook for another 5-10 minutes. Remove the bay leaf, and add the corn starch mixture. Stir. Cook for another 1-2 minutes. Set aside. 

For the ‘black’ onions: 
Pro tip: when quartering the onions, leave the stem in tact on one end of the onion, to ensure the layers will hold together while grilling! Brush balsamic vinegar on each quarter, and season to taste with salt and pepper. Grill over high heat (450-500 degrees Fahrenheit) until blackened on each side - about 5-7 minutes per side. 

To assemble: divide the wedges into two shallow bowls. Top with cheese curds, blue cheese, and bison gravy. Garnish with balsamic glaze, finely chopped chives and arugula sprouts.

1 large red onion, chopped into large pieces
1/2 tsp each:
Salt
Pepper 
Granulated garlic
Onion
Smoked paprika 
Poultry seasoning 
Chipotle chili pepper 

For the Alabama white sauce:
1 cup mayo
1/3 cup apple cider vinegar
1 tbsp Worcestershire
1/2 tbsp horseradish
1 tbsp hot sauce
1/2 tsp black pepper 
1 tbsp honey
1/2 tsp granulated garlic
1/2 tsp dried onion

Mix together all spices, and rub into chicken cubes. Skewer alternating between a piece of red onion on large metal skewers. Grill at 450-500 degrees until an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit is reached. Whisk together all ingredients for the sauce. Spoon over skewers, or serve on the side as a dipping sauce. BONUS - also great for dipping potatoe wedges, or as a base for potato/pasta salad! 

Serves 2-4

Ingredients

1 226g (8oz) Noble Premium Bison Ribeye Steak
1 head radicchio, sliced into wedges
1 fennel bulb, sliced into wedges (reserving the fronds for garnish)
1 red onion, peeled and thinly sliced
2 blood oranges, peeled and sliced 

For the dressing:
3 tbsp ( 45ml) olive oil
1 tbsp (15ml) white balsamic vinegar
1 tsp (5ml) white miso
Juice of half a blood orange 

Directions:

Preheat grill to 400-450 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly oil steak, and season liberally with salt and pepper. When slicing the radicchio and fennel, leave the core in to ensure the pieces stay intact while grilling. Grill the radicchio over direct heat for one minute per side. Carefully cut off core. Grill the fennel over direct heat for 2-3 minutes per side. Carefully cut off core. Set aside to cool. 

Grill the steak to your internal doneness temperature of choice - for medium rare, that’s 130-135 degrees Fahrenheit. Rest for 10 minutes, before thinly slicing. 

Combine all ingredients for the dressing in a small jar, and shake vigorously to combine. Resist adding extra salt - the miso is salty and does all the work for you! 

To assemble the salad, arrange radicchio, bison, fennel, red onion and oranges haphazardly on a plate. Top with fennel fronds, and dressing.

Makes: approximately 18 pupusa

These are the ultimate hand held snack - they’re crunchy, gooey, and satisfying. They’re comfort food at it’s finest and great for eating not the go, or paired with rice and smokey salsa for a savoury weeknight dinner. If you have the time, try your hand at making a tangy curtido to go along with them!

Ingredients
Pupusa Dough:
4 cups instant corn masa flour
2 tsp salt
3 cups cold water

Filling

1 cup mozzarella cheese
1 540ml can of red kidney beans 
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp chipotle chili powder 
1 tsp vegetable stock powder 
1/2 tsp black pepper 

Directions:

In a large bowl, combine ingredients for dough. It should look like a clay-like texture. Use a small bowl with water and a little oil to dip your hands into to keep the dough from sticking to your hands. In another bowl, roughly mash the kidney beans with a fork. Stir in all other ingredients and thoroughly mix. Take a golf ball sized portion of the dough roll into a ball, then flatten into an even round. Take about a tbsp of the bean mixture, and place in the centre of the round. Fold the dough over the filling and pinch until it’s completely sealed. Then, flatten out the ball between your hands until flat. Place on a greased cookie sheet, or preheated cast iron skillet with a little oil. Cook in a 400-425 grill or oven until golden brown on each side - about 2-4 minutes. Flip and cook for an additional 2-4 minutes.

Makes: one cast iron of scalloped potatoes

This is such a great side dish for Thanksgiving. It’s super rich, creamy, and full of savoury bacon and cheese. Why serve mashed potatoes when you can serve SCALLOPED potatoes…and if a little gravy ends up being poured on these…we wouldn’t be mad either!

3 green onions, chopped
3-4 cloves garlic, finely minced
1/4 cup corn starch  
2 cups cream
1 cup chicken broth
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper 
8-10 yellow potatoes, finely sliced
3 cups of aged cheddar cheese, grated
4-6 sliced of Canadian bacon, cooked and finely chopped

Directions:

Preheat grill to 375-400 degrees. In a large bowl, combine melted butter, cream, broth, salt and pepper. In a cast iron skillet, pour a little of the sauce in the bottom. Top with sliced potatoes, cheese and some of the bacon. Add more sauce, and continue to layer until all ingredients are finished. Reserve some of the bacon to add to the top. Grill over indirect heat for one and a half hour until a knife inserted into the potatoes feel like they’re soft and fully cooked.
