Step 1
Prepare all the ingredients. Wash the moose fillet and, using a sharp knife, cut it partially through like a "book," then unfold it into a flat piece. The meat should be about 6 mm thick. Place the meat between two pieces of plastic wrap and pound it with a meat mallet. Brush both sides of the meat with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Set aside for now.

In a small bowl, mix soft cottage cheese with basil pesto and cooked quinoa. Heat a skillet over medium heat, melt 1 tablespoon of butter, add sliced leek and minced garlic, and sauté until golden. Lay out the prepared moose meat slice, place thin slices of ham on it, add the cheese mixture, and top with the sautéed leek and garlic.
