How-To: Make Danish Open-faced Sandwiches

Поділитися
Вставка
  • Опубліковано 7 лют 2025
  • Haleigh Whelan-McManus is a chef from Dublin, but he’s spent enough time in Denmark to know how to make the national lunchtime tradition: open-faced sandwiches.
    Halaigh, who previously worked at Noma and is now souschef at Maemo in Oslo, gives the Danish classic his very own spin with fresh mackerel and beer-pickled onions. All served on dark rye, obviously, and dressed like a royal treat.

  • @stroemvighansen
    @stroemvighansen 7 років тому

    Looks nice. Apart from that all components are made from scratch, which I really appreciate, there a few details that I believe makes it unfit to be served at a restaurant.
    Simply put, it has to do with the relation between the size of the bread and the size of the toppings. What you are making, I would say, is a 'håndmad' (: finger food) - a loaf of bread cut so thick that you can take it with you and eat as you go. This is what most Danes eat for their lunch.
    At a restaurant however, I would expect the toppings to cover the bread entirely, and the bread to be so thinly sliced that I could keep my appetite for two or three (different) pieces. This would of course require a knife and a fork to eat. Apart from that, very lovely

    I don't think that any dane would mix mackerel and fried onions. Mackerel is often severed smoked on bead with raw egg yolk and raw onion rings. It could be fun to taste this interpretation of Danish Open-faced Sandwich. By the way ... in Denmark is not real "smørrebrød" unless the bread is completely covered ;-)
    This is not supposed to by a negative remark in any way. Just fun to see the differences. I really enjoyed the video.
