Tonight we are having leftover soup from the weekend: Chicken Wild Rice Soup and Bison and Sweet Potato Stew. The stew I did in my slow cooker and it turned out great. It’s a nice way to introduce bison to your diet if you have started to see it at your market and want to try it out. You can also use beef stew meat if that is what you have instead. This was very satisfying and also acceptable diet-wise enough for my neanderthal husband…. um, I mean, my triathalon-training, paleo-diet-following (hence the neanderthal comment) husband…. um, yeah…. (hee, hee. hee! Love ya, honey!)
I am linking today to Sandra’s blog for Slow Cooking Thursday. (I have done this in the past, but fell off the linking band wagon… It’s nice to be back!) Head on over and check out the other tasty options for your crock pot!
Bison & Sweet Potato Stew (this fills a 6 quart crock pot)
Serves 12
2 lb bison steak, cut into ¾” cubes
4 pounds sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into ¾” cubes
1 pound white button mushrooms, quartered
12 large shallots, peeled and quartered
8 cloves garlic, peeled
2 cup dry red wine
2 14 oz can crushed tomatoes
4 teaspoons finely chopped fresh rosemary or 1 teaspoon dried rosemary, crushed
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
3 tablespoons red-wine vinegar
1/2 cup fresh parsley, snipped
Place bison, sweet potatoes, mushrooms, shallots, garlic, wine, rosemary, salt and pepper in a 6-quart slow cooker; stir to combine. Put the lid on and cook on low until the potatoes are tender, about 5 hours. Before serving stir in vinegar and parsley.
