Bread fans watch out.
Smushis are a trend that combines sandwiches with handy finger food.
And of course the small bites are delicious too.
There are many
food trends
that you don't necessarily want to be part of.
And then there are some where you ask yourself: “Why haven't I heard about it yet?
I have to try it! ”Perhaps this is how you will feel with this trend.
It's called:
Smushi
.
And by the way, has nothing to do with smoothies *.
Curious food trend: what are smushis?
Bread meets sushi
Even if you
think of
Japanese cuisine
when you think of sushi
, this trend does not come from the land of the cherry blossoms for once.
Instead, smushi is a
dish from Scandinavia
, more precisely from
Denmark
.
The restaurant owner Lo Østergaard invented this specialty in Copenhagen and opened a café called “Royal Smushi Café”.
What's up with the strange name?
“Smushi” is a combination of the words “
Smørrebrød
” - opulent sandwiches that are typical of Denmark - and
sushi
.
Østergaard had the idea to arrange the typical Danish breads like sushi.
This is why smushi is clearly reminiscent of sushi, both externally and based on the ingredients.

Make smushi yourself - Smørrebrød in sushi style
Now you are probably wondering how you can try these smushis without having to fly to Copenhagen.
The good news: You can make
smushis yourself
, and you can
vary
the ingredients very flexibly to
find
what you like best.
Take a bread of your choice, for example white bread or wholemeal bread.
Then you still need
fish
- here too: whatever you like, such as salmon or tuna fillets.
Or
meat
in the form of turkey breast or something similar.
Exactly what is traditionally not possible with sushi, namely meat, you can safely use as an ingredient here.
Then you need something creamy for additional taste and so that the individual
components
hold
together
.
And decoration in the form of herbs, caviar or horseradish should of course not be missing.
Let's go with the smushis.

Even beginners can make this wholemeal bread - and it tastes great.
