Bison Ragu (Paleo)



On Friday after work I took a trip to the Real Food Market. I went there searching for organic, free-range, grass-fed meat, and left with some ground beef and ground bison. BISON.




I cooked the Bison up as soon as I got home. My meal was pretty random, originally inspired by spaghetti, but ended up being more of a stew or ragu.

Use my spiralizer for the first time! It's the only one I could find, got it at Paderno out on Stavanger Drive. I used it on zucchini and got spaghettini-like strands!







I laid that aside and started to brown my bison on low heat. Where it was extra lean, I had to add a bit of extra virgin olive oil to make sure it wouldn't burn.  Added shallots, garlic, organic carrots, and organic mushrooms and cooked everything in organic tomato and basil pasta sauce with some extra garlic.

While that was stewing I roasted some baby red tomatoes in olive oil and sea salt.

In the last 5 minutes I sauteed my zuchinni in some olive oil, and then everything was ready to go!





Dad plated it right nice. :)

We all adored this meal and went for seconds. The Bison tasted like beef, only fresher. I don't know how else to describe it. I can't wait til my next grocery run to pick up more! Big fan.

The strands of zucchini made a great substitute for pasta, all the strands twirled around my fork perfectly!  I knew my spiralizer would be a good investment!


Eating organic is completely changing how I view food, and for the better. It's satisfying having control over what you put in your body. Being able to identify every ingredient is so important! As well as understanding the pros and cons of each ingredient, especially if you have a sensitivity too certain foods, or other health issues like an auto-immune disorder.


Someone should farm Bison in Newfoundland.
