Provided by MaryEllen

Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients
120 ml mayo
2-3 tablespoons flat parsley leaves
2 medium spring onions
2 medium pickled gherkins
1 tablespoon pickled gherkin brine or cider vinegar
Optional: 1 tablespoon anchovy paste

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)



Not so Universal Dipping Sauce (Iceland) image

*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* !
