Salad

Cold-smoked reindeer with melon and honey yogurt

Thin slices of cold-smoked reindeer over sweet melon, with a peppery honey yogurt spooned across the top. Ten minutes, start to finish.

Instructions

Scatter the melon cubes across four plates, mixing the colours as you go.
Whisk the yogurt, honey and mixed pepper together in a small bowl and taste it. It should be sweet with a peppery edge.
Lay the cold-smoked reindeer over the melon, letting the slices fall open naturally rather than flattening them.
Spoon the honey yogurt lightly over the top, scatter the toasted cashews and tear the mint and dill over just before it goes to the table.

Tips

A few edible flower petals among the melon make it look like summer.
If the smoked reindeer tastes very rich, a squeeze of lime over the plate lifts everything.

Salad

A Caesar with cold-smoked reindeer worked into the dressing as well as scattered through the leaves, so the smoke runs all the way through.

Bake

Floury baked potatoes hollowed out and filled with cold-smoked reindeer, halloumi and sour cream, then baked again until golden.

Ground / burger

Reindeer slow-cooked in a cola and cider vinegar barbecue glaze until it shreds, then piled onto soft buns with pickles and mustard.
