Source of Recipe
Smokehouse Bear, More Alaskan Recipes & Stories, by Gordon R. Nelson
Recipe Introduction
" The moose that is taken late in the season & destined to feed many Alaskan families is often a dry & lean animal. To lovers of fat beef, late-season moose isn't much of a treat. While living in Flennallen one winter, we learned from a family in Gakona how to make a sauce to eliminate some of the problem. It's good on fat moose or beef, too."
List of Ingredients
1/2 c Rendered beef fat
1 c Tomatoes chopped fresh or stewed
1 c Onion minced
1/2 c Dried green onion plumped in a small amt of water
Salt & pepper
1 1/2 c water
1 cn Mushroom stems & pcs, 4 oz Recipe
In frying pan over medium heat bring fat to hot. Combine all vegetables except mushrooms in a bowl & salt & pepper to taste. Pour them into hot grease & saute for 3 mins. Add water & bring to a boil. Cook for 10 mins, stirring occasionally. Drain mushrooms, add them to sauce & heat for another 2 mins. Add extra liquid if mixture appears too dry. Serve either on or beside meat.
