Saturday evening my friend Stephanie had a cook out at her house. We ended up cooking out and eating in because it was still cold (as previously discussed). Everyone brought yummy food. I brought Broccoli Salad:
Broccoli
Bacon
Pecans
Raisins
Feta Cheese
Coleslaw Dressing.
But the highlight of dinner was the Caribou Ribs. Stephanie’s husband Raymond is a native of this area. He is actually from a village called Kobuk near Kotzebue. He has been a fishing guide and many other things. Now he teaches Hunting and Trapping at the High School. Wouldn’t that be a super cool class! Anyway, this was one of his Caribou that he got last fall during the big Caribou season.
He cooked them in the oven wrapped in foil for a long time, then put them on the grill for a little bit. They were Very Tasty. They tasted similar to beef ribs and had a lot of meat on them and not much fat. Yum.
As a side note, I took the left over ground beef that I took to the cookout for hamburgers and made some really delicious wraps for my lunch.
First I soaked some dry black beans I brought with me while I was at work all day. Then boiled them until they were good and soft. Then I put them in a mixing bowl and went to work mushing them up. I added the uncooked ground beef to the mushed black beans and added some mustard, Italian dressing, salt, and pepper. I mixed it all up really well then formed them into a log kind of kebab shape that was just a little shorter than the diameter of my tortillas. I baked them for about 30 minutes at 375 then put them in a tuberware in the fridge so I could pack them for lunch.
I just rolled one in a whole wheat flour tortilla. If I were at home and fresh veggies didn’t cost an arm and a leg, I would probably add some avocado, tomato, sprouts, cucumber, or lettuce. I did put some mustard on the tortilla, but some taziki sauce would have been even better.
