Caribou Stew

Submitted by K St.Louis

"This is a favorite from the days when my father would take trips to Labrador hunting and fishing. Very simple and straight forward. I've never measured for this dish, its kind of to your personal liking. I've only made this in a slow cooker, but experiment, its well worth it."

The real deal. Was very good. Aboriginal comfort food. Would make again as soon as I get cariboo meat again. Probably very good with beef meat too. Thanks
