Well, we bought one can of cod roe on our last visit to Denmark. That means you, dear reader, have to read about 3 different cod roe sandwich recipes as we munch our way through it. Luckily, it tastes pretty good. This second installment is cod roe with mayonnaise, sun dried tomatoes red bell peppers, and absolutely drenched in lime. Add a bit of onion for the unavoidable ‘crunch’ of course. Very nice. If you can find cod roe at a fishmonger, get it fresh instead of in a can. Cod roe by the way is a very common sandwich in Denmark, and probably comparable to the ‘spam’ phenomenon in the US. I imagine Americans may find a cod roe sandwich a bit weird, much as I as a Dane find anything with spam a bit weird. Let us know in your comments what you think.
Sandwich Recipe
- 1 piece of bread
- 2 tsp mustard
- 2 sliced of cod roe ~ 2-3 oz
- 1/4 lime
- 2 tsp mayonnaise
- 1 tbs red bell pepper (3-4 slices)
- 2 tbs sun dried tomatoes
- 1 tbs onion
- dukkah
Toast the bread until golden brown. Spread the mustard on the bread and then place the cod roe on top. Soak the cod roe in lime (or lemon). Spread the mayonnaise on the roe, and sprinkle with dukkah. Cut the onion and red bell pepper into slices and place on top. Garnish with a slice of lime so it looks great in pictures on food blogs like this.
