Ingredients
- A measure of ground bison weighing 8 ounces
- A hint of Dijon mustard, 1 teaspoon
- 1 teaspoon of dried oregano for a touch of flavor
- ½ teaspoon each of ground cumin, onion powder, and paprika
- A dash of dried sage, just ⅛ teaspoon
- A pinch of celery salt, to your liking
- Enhance with 2 teaspoons of olive oil
Step 1
In a mixing bowl, combine the flavorful bison meat with zesty mustard, aromatic oregano, earthy cumin, fragrant onion powder, smoky paprika, savory sage, and a touch of celery salt. Blend the ingredients together until they form a harmonious mixture.
Step 2
Shape the seasoned mixture into meatballs, aiming for a diameter of around 1 1/2 inches for each ball. This step allows the flavors to meld and infuse into the bison, enhancing every bite.
Step 3
In a non-stick skillet, warm up a drizzle of olive oil over medium-low heat, ensuring it spreads evenly across the surface. Carefully place the meatballs in the skillet, allowing them to cook undisturbed for approximately 4 minutes.
Step 4
Take your time to turn the meatballs gently, ensuring they achieve a delicious, golden-brown crust on all sides. This process usually takes about 6 more minutes. To ensure they are cooked to perfection, use an instant-read thermometer, aiming for a minimum internal temperature of 160 degrees F (70 degrees C). This guarantees a safe and satisfying dining experience.
Extra Tips & Suggestions
- 1. Utilize airtight containers to store the prepared bison meatballs. This will help retain their moisture and keep them fresh for longer periods of time.
- 2. Opt for glass containers over plastic ones to avoid any potential chemical leaching and to ensure the flavors of the meatballs remain uncompromised.
