Newari-style Flæskestegssandwich

Ingredients

In this Newari adaptation of Flæskestegssandwich, we incorporate traditional Newari spices and flavors to elevate the dish. The original Danish recipe typically uses a simple rub of salt and pepper for the pork, while our version includes a blend of cumin, coriander, and turmeric to infuse the meat with aromatic Newari spices. Additionally, we replace the traditional Danish accompaniments with a tangy tomato chutney and a refreshing cucumber salad, which add a unique Newari twist to the sandwich.
