Grilled Moosemeat Kebabs with Wild Berry Glaze

Evenings like these call for something truly wild and comforting, a dish that bridges the gap between the untamed and the familiar. Grilled moosemeat kebabs with wild berry glaze offer just that, a tender embrace of flavors that whisper of forests and open fires.

4. Brush the kebabs lightly with olive oil and season evenly with salt and black pepper.

Ingredients

• 1.5 lbs moosemeat, cut into steaks

4. Remove the steaks from the skillet and let them rest on a plate, covered loosely with foil.

Moosemeat Burgers with Caramelized Onions

Perhaps there’s something deeply comforting about the idea of transforming the wild, gamey essence of moosemeat into something as universally beloved as a burger, especially when paired with the sweet, slow-cooked allure of caramelized onions.

Ingredients

• 1 lb ground moosemeat
• 1 large onion, thinly sliced
• 2 tbsp unsalted butter
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp black pepper
• 4 burger buns

Instructions

1. In a large skillet over medium heat, melt 1 tbsp butter with 1 tbsp olive oil.
2. Add the thinly sliced onion to the skillet, stirring occasionally, until they begin to soften, about 5 minutes.
3. Reduce heat to low and continue cooking the onions, stirring every few minutes, until they are deeply golden and caramelized, about 30 minutes. Tip: A pinch of salt can help draw out the onions’ natural sugars.
4. While the onions cook, preheat your grill or skillet to medium-high heat (about 375°F) for the burgers.
5. Gently mix the ground moosemeat with 1 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper, being careful not to overwork the meat.
6. Form the meat into 4 equal-sized patties, each about 1/2 inch thick. Tip: Make a slight indentation in the center of each patty to prevent bulging during cooking.
7. Cook the patties on the preheated grill or skillet for about 4 minutes per side for medium doneness. Tip: Resist the urge to press down on the burgers as they cook to keep them juicy.
8. Toast the burger buns on the grill or in a toaster until lightly golden, about 1 minute.
9. Assemble the burgers by placing a patty on each bun bottom, topping with a generous amount of caramelized onions, and finishing with the bun top.

Yielding a burger that’s both robust and nuanced, the moosemeat offers a leaner, slightly sweeter profile than beef, beautifully balanced by the onions’ deep sweetness. Serve with a side of crisp, cold pickles to cut through the richness.
