Swedish-inspired Sobrasada Sandwich

Ingredients

In this Swedish-inspired version, we substitute the traditional Spanish baguette with Swedish rye bread, which adds a distinct nutty flavor and a denser texture. Additionally, we incorporate lingonberry jam, a staple in Swedish cuisine, to balance the richness of the sobrasada. The use of dill, a popular herb in Swedish cooking, adds a refreshing and aromatic touch to the sandwich. We alse have the original recipe for Bocadillo de sobrasada, so you can check it out.

Treat your ingredients with care...

• Swedish rye bread — If you can't find Swedish rye bread, you can substitute it with any dense and flavorful rye bread.
• Sobrasada — Make sure to spread the sobrasada evenly on the bread to ensure a balanced flavor in each bite.
• Lingonberry jam — If lingonberry jam is not available, cranberry sauce can be used as a substitute.
• Butter — Opt for unsalted butter to control the saltiness of the sandwich.
• Dill — Use fresh dill for the best flavor. If unavailable, you can substitute it with parsley or chives.

Tips & Tricks

• For an extra kick of flavor, you can add a few slices of pickled cucumber or pickled red onion to the sandwich.
• If you prefer a milder taste, you can reduce the amount of sobrasada or mix it with cream cheese.
• To enhance the crunchiness of the bread, you can lightly toast it before spreading the butter.

Presentation advice
