Cold-smoked reindeer rolls with creamy mushrooms
Slices of cold-smoked reindeer rolled around soft mushrooms and shallots bound with sour cream, served on lettuce leaves.
Instructions
Cook the mushrooms in a skillet over medium heat until their moisture has gone and they start to brown.
Add the minced shallot and give it a few more minutes, until soft, then take the pan off the heat and let it cool a little. Tip it into a small bowl and stir in the sour cream, parsley, black pepper and salt until the filling is creamy and well seasoned.
Lay the washed, dried lettuce leaves out on a platter.
Take a slice of cold-smoked reindeer, put a generous spoonful of the mushroom filling near one end and roll it up into a neat cigar. Carry on with the rest.
Arrange the rolls over the lettuce leaves.
Scatter the halved cherry tomatoes and cucumber slices around them and serve straight away.
Tips
- A splash of dry white wine with the mushrooms, before the shallots, deepens the filling.
- If the filling seems loose, a tablespoon of cream cheese will firm it up.
