RECIPE: HOW TO MAKE PEMMICAN FROM CANADA

Pemmican is a traditional food of the indigenous people of Canada, made from dehydrated meat, animal fat and dried berries. It is an energetic and nutritious food, ideal to take on a hike or as a snack.

Entering the Pemmican

500 g lean meat (venison, bison or beef)

200 g animal fat (melted tallow)

100 g dried berries (blueberries, raspberries or currants)

Salt to taste

Preparation of Pemmican step by step

Start by cutting the meat into small pieces and dehydrate it in the oven at a low temperature until it is completely dry. You can use a dehydrator if you prefer.

Grind the dried berries into a fine powder.

In a container, mix the dehydrated meat with the dried berries powder and add salt to taste.

Add the melted animal fat to the mixture and stir well until all the ingredients are well integrated.

Pour the mixture into molds or mold small portions with your hands and let them cool in the refrigerator for at least a few hours to solidify.

Once solidified, the pemmican will be ready to enjoy. You can wrap it in wax paper to take it with you on your outdoor adventures.
