Smoked reindeer pie - so tasty and appetizing
Reindeer pie is a delicious and rich Lappish savory pie, where the strong and refined taste of reindeer meat is combined with a soft, creamy filling. For example, mushrooms, onions, lingonberries, herbs and various cheeses go particularly well with reindeer.
Reindeer pie is perfect for the Christmas table, winter parties or as a small savory treat to serve with coffee and warm drinks. It brings a genuine northern touch to the offerings and is also a nice way to get to know the culinary tradition and local flavors of Lapland.
