This minced moose is a bite different from the usual way to prepare moose. They get tender due to the potato flour and mustard. To enhance the flavor you use the butter from frying the meat in the sauce, end serve them together with chanterelle mushrooms. This way the dish gets a more luxurious touch.
If you having a BBQ party and want to serve a different side dish to the meat this recipe might give you inspiration. While the pork fillet and potatoes are on the grill, you have plenty of time to spend with your guest. The home made garlic sauce enhance the flavor of both the meat and the potatoes.
