It is high in nutrients with a richer flavor that is just as versatile as grass fed ground beef. Bison has less calories and fat than beef as well. It’s an excellent source of lean protein, and it provides a variety of essential nutrients, like B vitamins, zinc and iron, just to name a few. Organ meats such as liver and heart are the superfoods of the animal kingdom and are some of the most nutrient-dense foods you can eat. Organ meats from grass-fed animals are safe and rich in high quality amino acids, fat, B vitamins and B12, CoQ10, minerals, and vitamins A, D and K which are important for mineral absorption. Liver is one of the most nutritionally dense foods in existence and nature’s most concentrated source of vitamin A; liver is also abundant in iron, choline, copper, folic acid, B vitamins, purines and natural cholesterol. </p> <header>The 411 on Organic Coffee</header> <p align="justify">We all know coffee increases our energy and wakes us but it has other nutritional benefits as well! Caffeine blocks an inhibitory neurotransmitter in your brain, which causes a stimulant effect. This improves energy levels, mood and various aspects of brain function. Caffeine can increase adrenaline levels and release fatty acids from your fat tissues. It also leads to significant improvements in physical performance. Coffee contains several important nutrients, including riboflavin, pantothenic acid, manganese, potassium, magnesium and niacin. Several observational studies show that coffee drinkers have a much lower risk of type 2 diabetes, a serious condition that affects millions of people worldwide.</p> </section> <hr class="divider-15 divider-thick mx-auto"> <section class="recipe"> <header itemprop="name">Bison Organ Meat Chilli</header> <div class="prep"> <span> <meta itemprop="prepTime" content="PT10M">Prep Time: 10 minutes</span> <span> <meta itemprop="cookTime" content="PT30M">Cooking Time: 30 minutes</span> <span> <meta itemprop="recipeYield">Serves: 4</span> </div> <div class="sub-head">Ingredients:</div> <ul class="ingredients no-bullet"> <li itemprop="recipeIngredient">2 tablespoons grass-fed butter</li> <li itemprop="recipeIngredient">½ yellow onion</li> <li itemprop="recipeIngredient">1 large heirloom tomato</li> <li itemprop="recipeIngredient">1 tablespoon finely ground organic espresso</li> <li itemprop="recipeIngredient">1 garlic clove</li> <li itemprop="recipeIngredient">1 lb ground bison blend (heart, liver, meat) <a target="_blank" href="https://thehonestbison.com/shop-meats/heart-liver-ground-blend/"rel="noreferrer">Found Here</a></li> <li itemprop="recipeIngredient">2 tablespoon chilli powder</li> <li itemprop="recipeIngredient">1 tablespoon cumin</li> <li itemprop="recipeIngredient">½ tablespoon garlic powder</li> <li itemprop="recipeIngredient">1 teaspoon onion powder</li> <li itemprop="recipeIngredient">¼ teaspoon cayenne</li> <li itemprop="recipeIngredient">½ teaspoon oregano</li> <li itemprop="recipeIngredient">1 teaspoon salt</li> <li itemprop="recipeIngredient">1 can of tomato concentrate</li> <li itemprop="recipeIngredient">1 tablespoon coconut teriyaki sauce</li> <li itemprop="recipeIngredient">2 tablespoons avocado oil</li> <li itemprop="recipeIngredient">½ cup cheese</li> <li itemprop="recipeIngredient">Water, as needed, to desired consistency</li> </ul> <hr class="divider-50 divider-medium"> <div class="sub-head">Instructions:</div> <ol itemprop="recipeInstructions"> <li>Chop tomato, onion and garlic.</li> <li><p align="justify">In your large stock pot, melt some of your butter then start browning your onions with the diced tomato, adding the espresso grounds towards the end, followed by the garlic.</p></li> <li><p align="justify">Brown the onion to almost black on some pieces, then add the bison blend, mashing it into the pan with a large fork or potato masher.</p></li> <li><p align="justify">Then, in no particular order, add all your spices, adding more butter, and continue mashing the meat blend, separating it into a fine texture.</p></li> <li><p align="justify">While the meat is slightly undercooked, add the tomato concentrate, avocado oil, oregano, and coconut teriyaki sauce, continue mashing together.</p></li> <li><p align="justify">Add half a cup of water at a time, until you get the chunky or saucy consistency you desire, continue mashing and let it simmer for 15-20 minutes over a medium heat.</p></li> <li>Taste it, add any and all spices you think it needs. </li> <li>Turn down the heat, let it thicken. </li> <li>Garnish with cheese</li> </ol> </section> </article>
