Unlocking Finland's Culinary Wonders

We are participating in a collaboration called The World Is Your Dinner Plate. You had to choose a country that started with the letter of the name. My kids choose Finland.

Here are the recipes for the food items that I made
Poronkäristys - Sautéed Reindeer (Gluten-free, Primal, Paleo, Keto
2 to 3 lbs of boneless reindeer, venison, bison, or beef steak (round, sirloin, or chuck)
2 tbsp butter
1 yellow onion, sliced
2 cloves garlic
1 tsp salt, more to taste
½ tsp black pepper, more to taste
½ tsp ground allspice
1 cup water
sliced chives to garnish
lingonberry or cranberry preserves to serve
mashed potatoes to serve
sliced pickles to serve
1. Freeze the meat for 20 minutes then slice as thin as possible; set aside.
2. Warm the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and saute until softened, about 6 minutes. Stir in the garlic and saute until aromatic, about 30 seconds. Add the meat, salt, pepper, allspice, and water; stir to combine. Bring to a simmer, then cover, reduce heat to low and gently simmer until the meat is tender, about 1 hour.
3. Remove the lid and increase heat to medium-high. Saute, stirring often, until the water has evaporated and the meat turns dark brown and crispy, about 10 minutes. Serve atop mashed potatoes, garnished with sliced chives, and served with mashed potatoes, lingonberry preserves, and sliced pickles.

Tonya, I had no idea about Finland. I didn’t pay attention in school, lol I skipped school a lot to go four wheeling. True story. I just was too wild to pay attention. Santa Claus and reindeer well that explains why Santa had reindeer. I hope you have a blessed day! Wendy❤️🙏🏻🇺🇸
