It’s about time we wrote out a recipe for Denmark’s national dish – smørrebrød, aka open-faced sandwiches! We grew up eating simplified versions of the sandwiches in this recipe for lunch, and fancier versions for family events around Christmas or Easter.
Smørrebrød is, in fact, the national dish of Denmark! It translates directly to “butter bread,” which is a pretty accurate name, as the first step to making delicious smørrebrød is usually to butter your bread.
As the weather gets colder, we start to crave comfort food. And comfort food for us means something hearty and filling, with a nice balance of protein, vegetables, and carbs.
There have been lots of holidays over the past few days – Lunar New Year, Valentine’s Day, Fastelavn – so whatever you celebrate, we hope it was a good one!
