HAM HOCK, BEETROOT & FENNEL SMØRREBRØD

Rated 5 stars by 1 users

On a recent trip to Copenhagen Sarah was so inspired by the food in general. The Danes have taken their cooking to a whole other level, inspired by their local produce and the seasons. Sarah particularly loved their Smørrebrød which to us is an open sandwich!
