Bison Meatballs

I bought some ground bison at an organic food store a couple of weeks ago because it was so cheap. I had no idea what to do with it but I remember some homemade hamburgers I had a while ago which were delicious so I decided to make meatballs instead (it's funny how things connect in my head!).

Here is the recipe

I added some hot sauce, ginger powder, basil, garlic and black pepper to the original recipe. I made some breadcrumbs using rye bread.







I am so impressed by how well they turned out! Absolutely delicious! I don't even like meat that much but I'm already planning to buy some more bison. I don't think I'll ever buy IKEA meatballs again!

  3. Have only had bison meat once..instead of beef, we used bison for the spaghetti sauce. More lean and delicious.

  4. I'm not quick to trying new things, but this.....one day....I'm willing to try. The more iron, the better so I can fight anemia.
