Pylsur (Lamb Hot Dog)
Icelandic lamb hot dogs are popular among both residents and tourists. Since 1936, Reykjavik's famous Bjarins Beztu Pylsur hot dog stand (which translates to "best hot dogs in town") has proudly served them near the port. The signature Icelandic hot dog is made with fresh Icelandic lamb and served on a warm bun with raw white onions, crispy fried onions, and ketchup, remoulade (mayo, capers, mustard, herbs), and pylsusinnep (brown mustard).
Ingredients:
- 6 hot dogs
- 6 hot dog buns
- 12 oz of beer (Viking or Gull are traditional but any lager will work)
- 1 yellow onion
- 1 fried onion (recipe below)
- 4 tablespoons ketchup
- 4 tablespoons sweet mustard
- 4 tablespoons of remoulade (recipe below)
How to make Pylsur:
- Pour beer into a large skillet and heat over medium heat until hot dogs are warmed thoroughly.
- Toast the open bun lightly.
- Spread ketchup, mustard, and remoulade on each bun before topping with the cooked hot dog and raw onion.
- Garnish with fried onions
How to make Remoulade:
Blend all the ingredients including 2 cups of mayonnaise, 1 tablespoon chopped gherkin, 1 tablespoon white wine vinegar, 1 teaspoon dijon mustard.
