Treat your ingredients with care...

Lompe — If you can't find lompe, you can substitute it with tortillas or thin flatbreads. However, the taste and texture may differ slightly.
Norwegian sausages — Look for traditional Norwegian sausages, such as medisterpølse or grillpølse, to achieve an authentic flavor. If unavailable, you can use any high-quality sausages of your choice.

Tips & Tricks

For extra flavor, you can marinate the sausages in a mixture of mustard, honey, and spices before grilling or boiling.
If you prefer a spicier kick, add a dash of hot sauce or chili flakes to the mustard sauce.
Serve Pølse med Lompe with a side of pickles or sauerkraut for a tangy contrast.
If you're hosting a gathering, set up a Pølse med Lompe bar with various condiments and toppings for guests to customize their own creations.
To make the dish more filling, you can add a layer of mashed potatoes or coleslaw inside the lompe before wrapping it around the sausage.

Serving advice

Pølse med Lompe is best served hot off the grill or stove. Remove the toothpick before serving and present the dish on a wooden board or a plate lined with parchment paper for a rustic touch. Serve with extra mustard sauce on the side for dipping.

Presentation advice

To enhance the visual appeal, garnish the Pølse med Lompe with a sprinkle of fresh herbs, such as chopped parsley or dill. Arrange the sausages diagonally on the lompe before rolling them up to create an eye-catching presentation.
