Hummus on rye bread is one of the newer vegetarian smørrebrød, showing how the Danish lunch table is evolving. Hummus and rye bread are an unexpectedly good match — the malty tang of the rye suits the nutty tahini in the hummus. The roasted vegetables with cumin give warmth and caramelised sweetness, and the dukkah spice blend adds crunch and complexity. The pomegranate seeds are not just decoration; their tart, crisp bite gives a fresh contrast to the soft, roasted vegetables.
