Kind Brethren Phesant (Ken) sent a package of walleye fillets to me the other day.. and a container of bear lard! Thank you again Ken!! I am looking forward to tasting the walleye soon.
I have not been around bear at all so this was a real treat for me. I was anxious to try it.
The fat had already been rendered down into a creamy white lard.
I gave it the "pinky finger" test to see what it was like.
I was very surprised...no game flavor at all, it was very mild!
I gathered a handfull of wild onions..
cubed some venison hind roast, from fall deer season..
seasoned with salt and pepper, sprinkled with flour and browned in a bit of the bear lard...
removed the venison and sauteed onions and garlic in the drippings..
added the meat to the pot with 3/4 cup of bourbon, 2 cups beef stock, a couple pinches of thyme, marjoram and basil...then salt and pepper.
set over hot coals to simmer...
made a batch of biscuits with the lard...
I loved it!! The biscuits were light and fluffy...the venison tasted like beef tips in gravy.
Thank you again Ken, this was one of my favorite meals to date. :becky:
Thanks for looking!
