ICELANDIC REMOULADE SAUCE RECIPE - (3.8/5)
Provided by MaryEllen
Number Of Ingredients 8
Steps:
- Place all the ingredients in a food processor or a grinder that can handle wet ingredients. Blend until smooth. Cook's Note: The remoulade served with hot dogs in Iceland is pale yellow but my recipe (below) is green as I've upped the quantity of parsley. I've also skipped the mustard since mustard is one of the other condiments to be squirted on anyway. By all means, adjust your remoulade recipe to better match the Icelandic style For the presentation: 1 frankfurter sausage 1 hot dog bun (Optional) 1-2 tablespoons finely diced raw white onion 1-2 tablespoons crispy fried onions Squirt of ketchup Squirt of sweet mustard Squirt of remoulade sauce
NOT SO UNIVERSAL DIPPING SAUCE (ICELAND)
*Kokkteilsosa* in Icelandic, this recipe from *Cool Cuisine* (Traditional Icelandic Cuisine) by Nanna Rognvaldardottir surprised me - mainly due to her intro: "This universal dipping sauce became popular in Iceland in the 1960s & is served w/chips, hamburgers, fried & deep-fried fish, fried chicken & other types of fast food. Some people even put it on their pizza." IMO this sauce is much more unique to Iceland than it is universal to anywhere in the universe! (Time does not include chill time) *Enjoy* !

PRAWNS IN CREAM SAUCE (ICELAND)
When I turned the pg of *Cool Cuisine* (Traditional Icelandic Cuisine) by Nanna Rognvaldardottir & read this recipe, it made me so hungry that I went straight to my kitchen for some food! Per her intro, "This is a luxurious dish! Altho langostines, prawns & other crustaceans now enjoy great popularity in Iceland, this has not always been the case. They were not commonly eaten a few decades ago, but Icelanders discovered these delicacies in a big way in the 1970s & have been making up for their earlier neglect ever since." This recipe has me thinking I should join their mission for our next spec occasion! (Time does not include the 30 min refrigeration time) *Enjoy* !
