Forty Rod SASS 3935 Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 My daughter and her husband returned from Finnland (went to se the Northern Lights) and brought me some canned reindeer meat. After several days of fiddling around on the internet I have not found a simple recipe for this stuff, and she told me they ate it and it is delicious........but she didn't have a clue how it was prepared. Any Finns out there or anyone with a recipe that uses ingredients I can get here? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshal Mo Hare, SASS #45984 Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 Is the can big like you might find canned hams or small like a cat food can? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's about the size of a small can of corned beef hash or baked beans, 210g / 8.5 oz. The brand is Riipi sen and I can only find one source on the net for over $23.00, and they can't ship it to the USA. At that price I doubt I'll ever buy any on my own, but I'd like to try it.

Subdeacon Joe Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 (edited) I wasn't able to find much on it. Supposedly much milder than elk or other venison. Keep in mind that the meat has been pressure cooked in the can, like bully beef. A bill of materials for a stew: Ingredients Shredded reindeer meat - 400g Bacon - 150g Butter for frying - 2 tbsp Fresh mushrooms - 250g Dried thyme - 1/2 tsp Water - 100ml Sour cream - 300ml Milk - 100ml Juniper berries, crushed - 5 Ektegeitost (a type of sweet brown goat cheese) - 3 slices If there is a Whole Foods near you I would suggest go there and see if they have that cheese, or can suggest a close substitute. Chop the bacon, quarter the mushrooms. Melt the butter in a skillet, render the bacon, add the mushrooms, cook a few minutes, scoop them into a pot. Brown the meat, add to pot with mushrooms. Wipe out the pan, use the other ingredients to make a sauce, adding the cheese after the sauce comes together. Add sauce to meat and mushrooms, heat through.

Blackwater 53393 Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 FORTY!! Look up Robert Irvine’s recipe for Caribou Stew! It’s set up to cook a pound of meat, so I’d half the other ingredients and maybe cook down the veggies and spices a bit before adding the meat! The recipe sounds delicious and there’s nothing too obscure in the ingredients!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michigan Slim Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 Had venison Manhattans last night with garlic mashed potatoes. Most excellent. Slow cooked roast. Your meat would be really good in that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
