I'm excited to share with you a recipe for bison bourguignon from Executive Chef Jim Kyndberg at FireLake Grill House & Cocktail Bar
in Downtown Minneapolis. It's part of their new seasonal menu featuring
comfort favourites with a Minnesotan modern twist. Nothing says fall and winter like hearty one pot meat and root veggie meals! My husband loves roasts, and stews so I'm always making some around here. Surprisingly the only one I've posted on here so far is my Crockpot Morroccan Beef Pot Roast with Honey Glaze.
AUTUMN CLASSICS, MINNESOTA INSPIRED
Executive
Chef Kyndberg introduces autumn dishes that showcase his passion for
taking classic dishes and infusing them with Minnesotan inspiration. The
menu
features dishes such as Bison Bourguignon with fingerling potatoes, carrots, cippolini onions, and mushrooms;
Northern Fried Chicken that is buttermilk marinated and wild rice
flour dredged, with white cheddar-herb mashed potatoes, broccolini, and
natural gravy; Duck Gnudi with Wild Acres duck breast, roasted mushrooms, oven dried tomatoes, and shaved
Brussels sprouts; Lena’s Meatballs (pork, duck, and beef), which is Swedish-inspired with porcini mushroom sauce and lingonberry compote; and
Venison Bolognese with eggless strigaloni pasta and shaved
parmesan. For a dessert with a bit of a kick, the cocktail team at
FireLake Grill House & Cocktail Bar has created delicious dessert
cocktails inspired by its home state that are the perfect
way to conclude a meal including Minnesota Nice with Godiva White Chocolate, Absolut Vanillia, Galliano, and Bittercube Cherrybark Vanilla bitters;
The Fire In Cider with Fireball Whiskey, lemon juice, Jamaican #1 bitters, and hot apple cider; and
Coffee Don’t-cha Know with Ricacha Horchata, Godiva Mocha, and coffee.
