Ingredients

• 2 reindeer sausages
• 2 pieces of Norwegian flatbread
• 1/2 cup shredded Jarlsberg cheese
• 1/4 cup sour cream
• 1/4 cup pickled red onions
• 2 tablespoons butter
• Fresh dill for garnish
• Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

Step 1: Fire up the Arteflame grill

1. Pour some vegetable oil on three paper napkins.
2. Place the napkins inside the center of the grill and stack firewood over them.
3. Light the napkins and allow the fire to heat up; the grill will be ready in about 20 minutes.

Step 2: Sear the reindeer sausage

1. Once the center grill grate reaches 1,000°F, place the reindeer sausages on the grate.
2. Sear each side for about 1 minute to lock in juices.
3. Move the sausages to the flat cooktop, cooking them to the desired doneness.
4. Remove when the internal temperature is 15°F below the target temperature.

Step 3: Prepare the flatbread

1. Butter the flat cooktop and place the flatbreads on it.
2. Allow them to crisp up for about 1-2 minutes per side.

Step 4: Assemble the flatbread

1. Thinly slice the grilled reindeer sausage.
2. Spread sour cream evenly over each flatbread.
3. Sprinkle shredded Jarlsberg cheese.
4. Add sliced sausage and pickled red onions.
5. Place the topped flatbreads back on the warm part of the griddle for 1-2 minutes to lightly melt the cheese.

Step 5: Serve

1. Garnish with fresh dill.
2. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
3. Slice and serve immediately.

Tips

• Keep sausages near the center when searing, then move them outward for gentler heat.
• Use butter for a rich, golden crust on the flatbread.
• Let the sausage rest for a few minutes after grilling for maximum juiciness.
• Adjust toppings to your preference – try adding lingonberry jam for a sweeter touch!

1. Spicy Nordic: Add a drizzle of spicy mustard and crushed red pepper for extra heat.
2. Cheese Lover’s Delight: Use a mix of Jarlsberg, Gouda, and blue cheese for a deeper flavor.
3. Mediterranean Twist: Substitute pickled red onions with sun-dried tomatoes and feta cheese.
4. Classic Norwegian: Add a small layer of mashed potatoes and fresh chives for a traditional touch.
5. Smoky BBQ: Top with smoked gouda and a drizzle of barbecue sauce for a smoky depth.
