  • Make a delicious meal of grilled game and wild berry sauce! In this video, Chef Maria Hines visits her friend Bobbie Mollenberg to learn about indigenous foods from the lands where she lives and cooks an incredible meal that has been hunted and foraged locally. Maria is joined by Bobbie and her family, as well as other members of the Colville Confederated Tribes of the Pacific Northwest to share stories, time on the water in a dug-out canoe and of course COOKING and good food. Food is Fuel, Food is medicine, Food is our connection to each other and the land.
    REI Coop Studios would like to thank Bobbie and all of the folks who joined us and shared their time and stories.

    RECIPE -
    Bobbi Mollenberg's Elderberry-blackberry sauce
    Ingredients:
    2-3 lbs elderberry(on stem)
    1-2 lbs blackberry(fresh or frozen)
    1T salt
    1-1.5C B.Sugar
    0.5 C red wine vinegar
    2-4 bay leaf
    2 cloves Black garlic
    1 (medium)knob Fresh ginger-cleaned/peeled rough large dice
    1-2 (sm/med) knobs fresh turmeric- cleaned/peeled cut in half lengthwise
    1-2 whole stem of fresh rosemary
    Method:
    Take the elderberry off the stem, and into a bowl, and have a colander ready. Rinse the elderberry w/warm water, not hotter than from the tap, and submerge the berries and gently run your hand in a swirling motion to get the berries moving, for any left over stems, leaves discard the water.
    Repeat to get them really clean depending on how bright and/or much white film is covering the berry, but as you repeat, slightly cool the water rather than continuing to rinse w/ warmer water each rinse.
    Add them to a small non reactive sauce pot. Reserve about .5-1C to add at the end.
    Add blackberries, bay leaves, ginger, turmeric and rosemary.
    Heat at a medium until berries begin to breakdown and you see them liquefying, and let come to a hard simmer, and add B. sugar, begin w/ 1-2t salt (both these salt and sugar are to your liking and taste), stir and agitate until sugars are broken down and incorporated w/ the sauce.
    Allow this to be on a low simmer for a minimum of 15 minutes, and then from there you are looking for a “Nappe” consistency of coating on the back of your spoon.
    When you are close and or at the consistency begin adding the r. wine vinegar again to your taste and start w/ .25 cups.
    Once you have added the vinegar, bring your heat down to very low and you are just looking to cook the vinegar as long to get the smell off and the flavor to incorporate(usually around 5 mins or less).
    While you wait for the vinegar, you can begin to add the left over elderberry, and pull out the bay leaves, and big chunks of ginger & turmeric.
    Before serving, you can adjust to your liking: for a sweeter sauce and add more b. Sugar, or for a little more sour flavor add salt &/or vinegar. Once the flavor is to your liking you may adjust w/ some water if the consistency is a little thick to cover your protein.
    Substitutions:
    Brown sugar: agave, honey, granulated sugar, cane sugar
    Fresh ginger, turmeric, whole rosemary- dried ground, spices

    Wow!! 😍 that meal looks fantastic - and saying this as a mostly-vegetarian who hasn’t eaten anything remotely steak-like in 5 years now. I am a bit shocked to admit that I would try this steak!! I am so impressed by the process and respect that Bobbi is bringing to the land and her heritage. When eating meat is done with this type of awareness of the cycles of nature, I am totally down with it. Most meat production in this country could not be further from this ideal, imo.
    Thank you SO MUCH Bobbi and family for sharing this meal & also your experience of the land with all of us. I absolutely agree that we need to get back to being more respectful to cycles of nature of which humans are only a tiny, tiny part. ❤️❤️
