Hallo Leute, ich möchte ein Rentier essen. Ich habe gerade eine Rentierjagdtour gemacht. Ich habe mich umgehört und festgestellt, dass es sowohl in Kiwi als auch in Rema1000 tatsächlich Rentiere gibt, aber nur wenige Produkte. Ich fragte in der Metzgerei in Grünelømka nach, aber der Typ sprach kein Englisch und wirkte verwirrt, also sagte ich es in sehr, sehr gebrochenem Norwegisch "Ich habe gehört, dass man in Norwegen Rentiere isst" aber er war nur noch verwirrter (übrigens erinnert es mich an die Zeit, als ich argentinische Metzger verwirrte, als ich durch Buenos Aires lief und fragte, ob sie Lamafleisch verkaufen, aber das taten sie nicht ☹️). Am Ende landete ich bei Meny und dem Typen dort empfahl mir, Rentiereintopf mit diesem Produkt und diesem Gemüse (Vilt-Grønnsaker) und Kartoffeln mit Sahne zuzubereiten. Jetzt bin ich mir nicht sicher, ob ich es kaufen und versuchen soll, es zuzubereiten, und es möglicherweise vermasseln soll (und dieses Mal geht es nicht darum herauszufinden, ob Makrell i Tomat in Frühlingsrollen, Kebab und Waffeln funktioniert, denn jetzt ist es Rentier und der Weihnachtsmann würde sich darüber aufregen Ich habe es vermasselt, also ist es eine ernste Angelegenheit) ODER vielleicht ein Restaurant finden, das es herstellt und es an elende Leute wie mich verkauft? Was soll ich tun? Ich muss morgen unbedingt ein Rentier essen und bin mir nicht sicher, wie ich das machen soll. Irgendwelche Empfehlungen? Ich würde mich tausendfach freuen!

It is easy to make and delishious:

Just remember to use Seterrømme 35% (full fat sour cream) and not that diet shit Lettrømme
Edit: “Delishious” is much better than mere Delicious. You can hear your mouth watering.
My absolute favorite reindeer dish: [Finnbiff](https://travelfoodatlas.com/norwegian-finnbiff-recipe-reindeer-stew)
What the guy in the store recommended is not a bad suggestion, but if you have never made it before there is no guarantee for the results.
Some restaurants are sure to have reindeer on the menu, for example this place: [https://www.heltviltoslo.no/](https://www.heltviltoslo.no/) (Look for “Finnbiff”) So if you want to try eating it out in a restaurant before attempting to cook it yourself, you could do that. Edit: They also have “grillet reinsdyr” (grilled reindeer), which is obviously a different dish, but still reindeer.
Otherwise if you prefer to try it yourself, you’ll find plenty of recipes where you can use the meat in the picture. Search for either “finnbiff” or “reinsdyrgryte” for ideas.
You can’t really mess up finnbiff. It’s a stew. It stews.
Otherwise you can usually find reindeer steak that you cook like normal steak with vegetables, potatoes etc on the side.
That meat should work great for a reindeer stew. Here’s my “everyday” way of doing it.
1.) Semi-thaw the meat. If you thaw it fully before frying, chances are it will taste less and drier.
2.) Brown it rather quickly on high heat using butter or oil. I use a big cast iron pan. Set the meat aside, and fry some diced onion on medium heat until it is soft. Throw the meat back in.
3.) Buy a bag of Toro “Viltsaus”, drop it in the pan, stir well, and add a little less water than the package says, around 2-3 dl, and stir again. This is cheating, but it works!
4.) Let it simmer a while, until the meat is tender. Shouldn’t be too long.
5.) While the stew is cooking, make your favorite basic mashed potatoes.
6.) Also while stew is cooking, cook some greens. The supermarket usually carries “Viltgrønnsaker”, which works quite well. Brussel sprouts, carrots, peas, cauliflower all fit well – most stuff works.
7.) Add a box of sour cream, and heat the stew just until it starts to boil, just before serving.
For a slightly upscale stew, start by dicing some bacon, and fry it till it is crisp. Set the bacon aside, and use the fat to fry the reindeer meat and the onions. Sprinkle the bacon on top when serving.
Bures. I adore souvaskebab and reindeer pizza. Also reindeer hotdogs and reindeer burgers. But our traditional cuisine is still best.
It’s just a cut of meat. Nothing mysterious. Just look up online recipes. Meny probably has steaks as well.
Buy a bag of the «Toro jegergryte» and make the stew as directed on the bag. Serve with boiled potatoes, tyttebær jam and pea stew/mash. Sooo good!
You can also use it for a hunters stew (jegergryte):

This stew is easy to improvise around as well, goes great with turkey leftovers now during christmas for example.
Check out the farmers market

May or may not have reindeer. Im buying a lot of deer or elch/moose from them. Products may vary by seasons
