Treat your ingredients with care...
- Ground reindeer moss — Ensure that the reindeer moss is thoroughly dried before grinding it into a powder. This can be done by air-drying it for a few days or using a food dehydrator.
- Dried lingonberries — If you can't find dried lingonberries, you can substitute them with dried cranberries or dried cherries for a similar tart flavor.
Tips & Tricks
- For a richer flavor, you can add a splash of reindeer broth to the chickpea stew.
- Experiment with different Sami spices like dried cloudberries or Arctic char to add a unique twist to the dish.
- If you prefer a smoother texture, you can blend a portion of the chickpeas and broth before adding the pasta.
Serving advice
Serve the Sami-style Chickpeas and Pasta in deep bowls, garnished with a sprinkle of dried lingonberries and a drizzle of olive oil. Accompany it with a slice of traditional Sami flatbread for a complete meal.
Presentation advice
Create an inviting presentation by arranging the pasta strips in a nest-like shape on top of the chickpea stew. Place a dollop of lingonberry jam in the center of the nest for a pop of color.
