Spruce Grouse & Stout Pie [

]

You’ll Need: Breasts from four to five grouse, cubed into bite-size pieces (roughly 1 1/2 lbs of meat); other dark fowl meat, rabbit, beef or other game also works if grouse are scarce) 2-3 heaping Tablespoons flour 1/4 cup olive oil 1 large yellow onion, diced 6 cloves of garlic, minced 3 large carrots, diced 2 stalks + leaves of celery, diced 1 1/2 cups broth (I use moose bone broth, but beef or vegetable broth work also. I don’t think chicken broth is rich enough or provides the right flavor for this dish but in a pinch use what you have on hand) 3 cups Stout beer 1 – 28 oz can whole fire roasted tomatoes 4 heaping tablespoons Herbs de Provence seasoning (a blend of thyme, rosemary, basil, parsley, oregano, tarragon, marjoram, lavender) sea salt and fresh cracked pepper 1 sheet of pastry; pie crust or puff pastry

To Make: In a large heavy bottomed saucepan or pot heat 2-3 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat. Toss your cubed grouse in flour to coat and working in small batches brown the meat very lightly, set aside. Pour in the remaining oil, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan, then toss in the onion and garlic, sautéing until onions are translucent. Add in the carrots and celery reducing heat to low-medium, cook stirring frequently for 5-6 minutes. Return the meat to the pan along with the broth, stout, tomatoes (use all contents of the can, no need to drain), Herbs de Provence, and salt and pepper to taste. Bring to a boil then reduce to a strong simmer and cook, uncovered for about an hour, until the contents reduce and thicken. Stir occasionally breaking up the tomatoes as they soften and scrape the bottom to prevent sticking. Once reduced spoon the thickened mixture into a pie plate or a roughly 8-10 cup capacity oven safe pan/pot. Allow to cool until no longer steaming. Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit, with rack in the middle top position. Cover your pan/pot with the sheet of pastry, pinching the edges to the pan to create a seal. If you wish, you can brush your pastry with a whisked egg to enhance the browning. Poke or slice a few vents in your crust and place into preheated oven. Bake 30-40 minutes until the crust is golden. Serve hot, with a frothy Alaskan stout and salad if you like.

Created by innovative theater masters Ping Chong + Company, ALAXSXA | ALASKA (uh-LUCK-shkuh) weaves puppetry, video, recorded interviews, and yuraq (Yup’ik drum and dance) in a collage of striking contemporary and historical encounters between Alaska Native communities and newcomers in our state. Performers Ryan Conarro, Gary Upay’aq Beaver (Central Yup’ik), and puppeteer Justin Perkins reveal little-known histories — at times humorous, at times tragic — and juxtapose them against their own personal histories as “insider” and “outsider” in The Last Frontier.

Alaska Federation of Natives Annual Convention October 18-20 Anchorage The largest meeting in Anchorage brings Alaskans from across the state together to discuss the issues and shape policy on a host of topics. It is the largest representative annual gathering in the country of Native peoples. More than 170 Alaska Native and Native American artisans from the “Lower 48” gather to showcase and sell their artwork during AFN. The Alaska Native Customary Art Fair is renown as one of the best places to find Alaska Native and Native American artwork. Dance is also a well-known portion of the program. First introduced at the 1982 AFN Convention, Quyana Alaska was designed to restore traditional dances and ensure they would be passed on to the future generations. The cultural revival has exploded across rural Alaska, and Quyana Alaska is now a treasured highlight of each convention.

Alaskan Lowbush Cranberry Spice Artisan Bread To make: In a large glass bowl, mix yeast, salt and water until salt is dissolved, yeast is frothy. Add in flour all at once. Stir thoroughly until well combined. Dough will be moist but should come away from side of bowl as you stir, forming a craggy dough. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and allow to rise in a warm place, undisturbed, for two hours. Dough should rise and fall to level. Place risen dough in fridge for at least two hours, though overnight is best, until you are ready to bake. Dough keeps in fridge up to a week.

You’ll need: For the dough 4 cups unbleached bread flour 1 tablespoon yeast 1 scant tablespoon kosher salt 1 3/4 cups + 2 tablespoons warm water For the spice and berry swirl 1 cup lowbush cranberries (Lingonberries) 4 tablespoons sugar 2 teaspoons cinnamon 1 teaspoon nutmeg 1/2 teaspoon cardamom

On baking day, mix sugar and spices in a small bowl and clean berries. Take dough from fridge and generously dust with flour. Remove dough from bowl onto a floured surface. Divide into four equal pieces. You will need plenty of flour on your work surface and dough to prevent sticking. With each piece of dough create an 8-inch rope, then flatten rope into a long rectangle. Sprinkle a tablespoon of sugar-spice blend onto each and spread with 1/4 cup of cranberries. Roll into a rope once more ensuring all berries are in the middle. Braid the ropes and tuck loose ends under to form a loaf. Place on a floured piece of parchment to rise for 30 minutes before baking. While bread is rising, preheat oven to 450°F with a baking stone on middle rack of the oven. Place an empty broiler pan on rack below baking stone. Once oven is heated and bread has been allowed to rise (don’t worry if it only rises minimally, it will continue in oven), place loaf, still on the parchment, onto hot baking stone and return to oven. Working quickly, pour 1-2 cups of water into hot broiler pan and close oven door to trap steam. Steam is what makes a crackly crust. Don’t peek! Allow to bake 35 minutes, check for browning and allow to bake up to 10-15 minutes longer if needed depending how dark you like your loaf. Allow to cool completely before slicing. Chopped pecans or walnuts are a great addition to the berry swirl if so inclined!

Alaskan Spirit Magazine Telling the stories of rural Alaska and the communities we serve. COMING IN NOVEMBER’S ISSUE Under the Lights Celebrating the wonder and beauty of the Aurora where it’s part of everyday life. Plus, tips on where, how and when to make your own memories under the lights this winter. Fairbanks: Celebrating the Best of Winter Nobody does winter in Alaska like Fairbanks, and there’s a lot to love in our northernmost city. We look at the complete calendar of the big events you know about, and some that you’ve probably never heard of. Best of Fairbanks Our picks of the best spots in Fairbanks to eat, drink and play. With tips on planning your own trip in the interior. Just for the Kids Travel writer Erin Kirkland continues her series of great things to do outdoors (and indoors) with the kids in Alaska during the cold weather months. Boomtime Things are booming in the Fairbanks economy, thanks to two squadrons of F-35s coming to town. Senior business journalist Tim Bradner takes an indepth into the exciting growth coming to Fairbanks. Takeout for the Holidays Our chef and food writer Susie Brito steps out of the kitchen to give us her take on the best places from the Valley to Girdwood to take out an epic holiday meal—and we bet some of your favorites are hers too! Look for our magazine on your next Ravn Alaska flight, in our hub airports and in Ted Stevens International Airport. And online at FlyRavn.com. Got a story idea?
