Bison Meatloaf with Chokeberry/Aronia Berry BBQ Sauce

About the Recipe: This meatloaf is healthy, protein rich, tastier than beef, and richer in flavor. Since it is so lean, the texture is firm and easy to cut. We really enjoyed the Chokeberry/Aronia Berry BBQ Sauce over the top but fresh spicy tomato sauce would also be a great addition.

Inspired by:  Decolonizing the Diet Program at the University of North Michigan; Oct. 24, 2013.

Cook’s Note:   The original recipe used venison and bison but venison was not available to our area so I used only ground bison.  I also used chicken eggs rather than duck eggs and natural coconut sugar.

Spread prepared Wojapi – Chokeberry/Aronia Berry BBQ Sauce over top; garnish with cilantro sprigs.

Wojapi – Chokeberry/Aronia Berries Sauce
(Original Recipe)
Also known as Aronia Berru

About the Recipe:  These superfruit berries are dark blue purple berries filled with antioxidant and anthocyanin.  They can be pressed for their juice, to make a sweet honey flavored sauce, or even create a BBQ sauce to serve over meatloaf or bison steaks.  The flavor is very different from blueberries, a little earthy with a savory edge.  However when I added a little honey, it became a delicious sweet sauce for a fruit dessert.  Amazing

Cook’s Note:  I bought my Aronia Berries at Whole Foods Market in the frozen food department.  They are the highest Antioxidant and Anthocyanin Superfruit.  Distributed by:  Sawmill Hollow Family Farm
