Thistle dumplings are an ingenious way to prepare a larger piece of meat. The method was invented by the Sami who used to store their best cuts of meat by burying them in the snow. Then, when they wanted to cook their jerky, they would dig a new hole in the snow, fill it with stones and then build a fire on the stones.
Then they would wrap the meat, put it on the fire and cover it with earth and let it cook slowly, usually overnight. Finally, they bathed the meat in a hot marinade and let it cool completely before eating it in very thin slices. The end result was an incredible piece of meat, quite heavy, slightly salted and delicately flavoured.
