We recently visited a bison farm and purchased meat to make pemmican. Pemmican is Native American survival food that sparked a war among fur trade companies. It is a high-calorie but low-volume which makes it the perfect food for hunting and traveling. Native Americans used to make pemmican with a variety of game meat including bison, deer, moose, elk, or salmon. The meat is first dried and ground into powder and mixed with rendered animal fat and bone marrow. For my recipe, I use lean bison meat and beef tallow. This is my first time exploring Native American cuisine. Please join me in this Wild West culinary adventure!
