Reindeer for birthday!


We have some kind of a tradition that on special days we eat reindeer. Well today it was my birthday and also celebrated our anniversary which was on Wednesday.

On the menu there was filet of reindeer, mashed potatoes with carrots, mixed vegetables and berry sauce.

For the sauce I used half a liter of good beef stock, 25g bacon, salt, pepper, a little bit of garlic, 4 berries jam, cream and cornflour to thicken everything up.
All you need is to fry the bacon, add stock and let it simmer until it has reduced into half. Then you remove the bacon, spice it up and add good amount of jam so it's not too sweet. Heat it up, thicken it up, check the taste and add a little bit of cream to give it a good taste.

I had carrots with potatoes which I boiled in salted water, mashed and added warm milk which I heated up with some butter and salt.

Reindeer is really tasty meat, tastes like game without being game.
