    Divide this ground bison mixture in two halves.

    Place aluminum foil on the table about 17 -18 inches length.

    Spread a thin layer of extra virgin olive oil on top of the foil.

    Put fresh Italian herbs along the foil on top of the oily layer.

    Put the first half of ground bison mixture on the foil near edge, and spread evenly creating a

    rectangle like shape about 16 inches length and about 5.5 inches width.

    Put spinach onto entire length of bison loaf , then sprinkle cheese on top.

    Place this roll in a roasting pan and bake it in the oven for 40 min at 400 F.

    Remove from the oven and open the foil to allow the top of the bison loaf to brown.

    Put onions and carrots into the skillet and sauté them until they have a golden color.

    Add milk, arrowroot flour, salt, pepper, Coconut Aminos Teriyakisauce, and mix it well.

    Cook until the gravy consistency is slightly thick.

    Put this mixture into a blender, add cilantro and mix well until homogeneous liquid like consistency.
