Sauteed ground bison in lardon drippings, with mirepoix, pinot noir, Roma tomatoes, oregano and garlic.
But instead of simmering on the stove top as traditionally done, I decided to pop it in the smoker on a whim, with cherry wood for 3 hours in a shallow casserole dish to maximize surface area.
And boy am I glad I did. Sometimes, I find ragu to be a bit one dimensional, and this ended up being the interesting twist and extra layer of flavor I was hoping it would be.
