Real Turmat says

Reindeer with potato, mushroom, and lingonberries. Hunter’s favourite. Reindeer meat, mushrooms and berries all contributes to the unmistakable gamy flavour.

We put our pride in collecting the best ingredients from our arctic surroundings. Every REAL meal is made by our skilful team of chefs. Our unique drying process removes only the water from the original dish. This secures you a nutritious lightweight meal - easy to prepare, without removing a grain of the rich flavour.

Preparation: Tear off the top of the bag at the indentation. Add warm water (3,9 dl) up to the level marker. Stir well, close the bag using the ziplock and let the dish rest for 8 minutes.

8/10

STAFF'S TASTE TEST - The stew is packed with meat, which is flavorful and tender. The light peppery stock adds a nice touch, and the sharpness of the lingonberries is a welcome contrast. The recommended water level made the stew a little thin, so we would add slightly less next time to enhance the flavour. The reindeer meat is very flavorful, but the gaminess is very subtle. Unless you know that it is reindeer, you could easily mistake it for beef. Overall, this is a very tasty and satisfying stew.
