Siksika Buffalo and Blackberry Soup
(this has been in my family for generations)
Makes 4 smallish servings
INGREDIENTS:
1 1/2 tablespoons rendered buffalo suet (bacon fat works as a good substitute)
1 lb buffalo stew meat, cut into 1-in cubes
2 cups buffalo broth (beef broth makes a good substitute)
1/2 cup sliced scallions
2 1/2 cups (about 3/4 lb) fresh blackberries
1/4 teaspoon crushed or ground juniper berries*
1 tablespoon maple syrup (honey works too)
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
4 teaspoons very finely chopped onions
METHOD:
In a large saucepan, heat animal fat until melted over medium-high heat, then cook the meat, stirring until browned on all sides, about 5 minutes.
Pour in broth, 1/3 cup of the scallions, 2 cups of the blackberries, and the juniper. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to low and simmer until the meat is tender, about 45 minutes
Season the soup with the maple syrup, salt, and pepper. Ladle into bowls, garnish with remaining ingredients and enjoy.
Note: Juniper berries can be eaten and are available for purchase from select culinary markets.
