Bison & Orecchiette Primavera

Directions

• Heat a cast iron skillet over high heat. Add the avocado oil, and allow to heat for 2-3 minutes before adding the bison.
• Add the Italian seasoning and season with salt and pepper to taste. Allow the bison to brown, stirring occasionally, for 6-8 minutes. Do not rush this step – those little brown bits clinging to the bottom of the skillet will add a tremendous amount of flavour to the sauce!
• Stir in the butter and onions. Cook until the onions are translucent – about 5 minutes.
• Mix in the mushrooms and garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes.
• Add remaining ingredients and stir until the sauce thickens, another 2-3 minutes.
• Garnish with fresh parsley, more cheese and enjoy this springtime delight!

Notes:
If you cannot find fiddleheads locally, substitute fresh asparagus.
If you cannot find morel mushrooms locally, substitute cremini mushrooms.
