Treat your ingredients with care...

• Pork roast — Choose a pork roast with a good layer of fat on top to ensure crispy crackling.
• Rye bread — Look for dense and hearty rye bread for the authentic Danish experience.
• Remoulade sauce — If you can't find remoulade sauce, you can substitute it with a combination of mayonnaise, mustard, and pickles.

Tips & Tricks

• For extra crispy crackling, pat the pork roast's skin dry before scoring and roasting.
• To add a tangy kick, sprinkle some apple cider vinegar on the sliced pork roast before assembling the sandwich.
• Experiment with different types of pickles, such as dill pickles or pickled red cabbage, for unique flavor variations.
• If you prefer a spicier sandwich, add a dollop of Danish mustard to the toppings.
• To make the sandwich more substantial, consider adding a layer of fresh lettuce or arugula.

Serving advice

Serve the Danish Pork Roast Sandwiches with a side of crispy fries or a simple green salad for a complete meal.

Presentation advice
