- Pickled herring — Soak the herring in milk for a few hours to reduce its saltiness before using.
Tips & Tricks
- Experiment with different types of pickled vegetables, such as pickled mushrooms or pickled red cabbage, to add variety to your Koldt Bord.
- Serve the platter with a selection of mustards and chutneys for additional flavor options.
- Add a touch of sweetness by including some fresh grapes or sliced apples on the platter.
- For a more festive presentation, use decorative serving dishes and garnish with edible flowers.
- Don't forget to provide small plates and utensils for your guests to enjoy the Koldt Bord.
Serving advice
Serve the Koldt Bord as the centerpiece of a buffet-style meal, allowing guests to help themselves to the various components. Encourage them to create their own open-faced sandwiches using the Danish rye bread, butter, and a combination of the meats, cheeses, and pickled vegetables.
Presentation advice
Arrange the ingredients on the platter in an aesthetically pleasing manner, creating a visually appealing display of colors and textures. Use small bowls or ramekins for the pickled vegetables and place them strategically around the platter. Garnish with fresh dill for a pop of green.
