Grilled Bison Skewers with Wojape

This recipe is inspired by the book “The Sioux Chef’s Indigenous Kitchen” by Sean Sherman. We have made adjustments using our favorite SweetGrass Trading Co. products.

This recipe is from Mikee Willard and his son Darius Willard of the Northern Cheyenne tribe in Montana, and members of the Tatanka food truck team. The skewers can be garnished with Wojape or a sauce of stewed wild plums. Serves 4 to 6.
