Smørrebrød

Ingredients

• Rye bread
• Butter
• Pickled herring or shrimp
• Egg
• Radish
• Dill and onion

How to make it

1. Butter slices of rye bread. Prepare this first and keep the heat moderate; rushing the first stage usually gives uneven texture later.
2. Add fish, egg or other topping neatly. Taste once more before serving. Add salt, acid, herbs or a spoon of sauce at the end while the dish is still hot.
3. Garnish with radish, onion and dill. Continue gently and check texture rather than only the clock; the dish is ready when the main ingredient is tender and well seasoned.
4. Serve chilled as open sandwiches. Taste once more before serving. Add salt, acid, herbs or a spoon of sauce at the end while the dish is still hot.
