Smoked Reindeer Salad

The natural meat from free-living reindeer is a delicacy, especially when smoked. While retaining a mild gamey flavour, smoking the meat adds another dimension to the taste and texture, intensifying its unique taste.

Smoked Reindeer Salad

Prep Time 15 minutes
Total Time 15 minutes
Servings: 4 portions

Ingredients
  

  • 500 g smoked reindeer
  • 2 tbsp grated horseradish
  • 2 tbsp mayonnaise
  • 2 tbsp crème fraîche
  • 1 tbsp chopped parsley
  • 4 slices rye bread
  • 1/2 onion
  • salt & pepper
  • 4 tbsp Kalix Löjrom

Method
 

  1. Finely dice the smoked reindeer meat.
  2. Mix with grated horseradish, chopped parsley, mayonnaise and crème fraîche, season with salt and pepper.
  3. Peel and thinly slice the onions. Then, heat up about an inch of oil in a large, deep pot. Once hot (over medium heat), add the onion and allow them to fry until browned and crispy (2-4 minutes). Stir occasionally to make sure they’re frying evenly. When ready, remove the onions from the oil and place them over a layer of paper towel to absorb any excess oil (optionally blot the top with a second sheet). 
  4. Take the bread and put reindeer mix on top. Garnish with fried onions.
  5. Put one tbsp of Kalix Löjrom on top of each Smørrebrød.
