About Poronkäristys
Valio’s poronkäristys follows the Finnish preparation of thinly sliced reindeer, identified by Visit Finland as a traditional dish. This attributed rendition cooks the meat with onion, butter, dark beer and water.
Salt and black pepper season the reindeer. Its potato accompaniment, pottuvoi, uses puikula potatoes with browned butter and ground nutmeg, keeping the source’s complete pairing together.
The reindeer and potato mash are served with lingonberries and pickled cucumbers. Browning the butter adds the nutty aroma described by Valio; this is a named published rendition within the traditional reindeer-dish family.
