Ingredients

Yields 4 servings

Rye bread

4 slices rye bread
soft butter, for spreading

Topping

400 g Danish meat sausage (kødpølse), cut into slices (about 8–10 mm thick)

Meat jelly

2 dl beef jelly (tinned or homemade)
1 tsp gravy browning

Assembly

2 tsp wholegrain mustard (or hot mustard)
½ onion, cut into thin rings
flaky salt

Directions

Meat sausage

Warm the sausage slices gently in a dry pan or in a little water — they just need to be heated through.

Meat jelly

Warm the jelly and add a little gravy browning. It should be clear and well-flavoured.

Assembly

Spread the rye bread with soft butter. Lay the sausage slices on the bread, letting them overlap slightly. Pour meat jelly over. Arrange raw onion rings on top and place a dollop of mustard alongside. Sprinkle with flaky salt.
