Danish rémoulade (Rémoulade)

(Danish rémoulade)

Danish rémoulade is a popular condiment in Denmark, often used as a topping for open sandwiches, especially those featuring roast beef, and as a dip for fried foods like fish and chips.


It's somewhat similar to French rémoulade (with which it also shares the name), but has a distinct flavor profile due to its unique ingredients. Danish rémoulade is typically made from a base of mayonnaise, enhanced with mustard, sugar, and finely chopped pickles, which give it a tangy and slightly sweet flavor.


Additional ingredients often include chopped onions, carrots, cabbage, and herbs like chives, along with spices such as turmeric or curry powder, which lend it a characteristic yellow color. The sauce is creamy with a balance of sweetness and tanginess, making it versatile for a variety of dishes, particularly seafood and cold cuts.


It's a staple in Danish cuisine and can be found in supermarkets around Scandinavia, but it's also easy to make at home with just a few simple ingredients.
