Yamal-style Spaghetti Jaffle

Treat your ingredients with care...

• Reindeer meat — Ensure the meat is thinly sliced to ensure quick and even cooking.
• Mushrooms — Use fresh mushrooms and slice them thinly for a better texture and flavor.
• Onions — Finely chop the onions to ensure they cook evenly and blend well with the other ingredients.
• Grated cheese — Use a combination of your favorite melting cheeses, such as cheddar and mozzarella, for a gooey and flavorful filling.

• Add a touch of garlic or herbs to the spaghetti mixture for extra flavor.
• Serve the jaffles with a side of lingonberry jam for a traditional Yamal accompaniment.
• If you don't have a jaffle maker, you can use a panini press or grill the jaffles in a skillet.
• Customize the filling by adding vegetables like bell peppers or zucchini for added freshness and nutrition.
