Danish Kitchen
- Fish & Fries$12.00
Beautiful white Haddock fish that is hand breaded with our own smooth seasonings served with house cut french fries & house made remoulade. In Denmark, a type of Flounder called "Plaice" is used for this dish and is hard to find in the midwest. This dish is a staple at most Danish restaurants. *Remoulade is a danish condiment that is both sweet and tangy packed with fresh ingredients like fresh parsley and carrots. The Danes use it on many, many things.
- Fried Pork Belly$12.00
The Danish National Dish. Crispy, salted pork belly (basically thick sliced bacon) served with boiled potatoes and parsley gravy. *Also sometimes referred to as Side Pork It is sliced thick, salted and baked for about 45 minutes.
- Frikadeller$12.00
Traditional Danish meatballs served with boiled potatoes & beef gravy. One of the most popular Danish dishes. What makes it a Danish meatball? The shape is an oval and flavors heavy in onion and pepper. These meatballs are cooked in butter on our stove top.
- Karbonader$11.00
A breaded pork tenderloin served with boiled potatoes and all covered with a creamy pea & carrot gravy. Traditionally this dish is served as a ground pork breaded patty, but we changed it a little to appeal to our wonderful Iowan locals using a Pork Tenderloin patty instead. It is comfort food at it's finest.
- Medisterpolse$12.00
House made Danish sausages served with boiled potatoes and beef gravy. We grind our own pork and season it with notes of nutmeg and all spice, and stuff it in hog casings. It is boiled first and then finished on the stove top. *GF (with NO beef gravy, but you can have it with our creamy pea & carrot gravy instead!)
- Aebleskiver$7.00
We consider them Danish Doughnuts, but a better way to describe them is a cross between a doughnut and a pancake. Their circle shape is what really makes it unique, and a special Aebleskiver pan is used with a special process to make them round. It is typically served as a dessert at Christmas time, but we think there is no wrong time to enjoy them. They are served with jam, sugar and butter. Although some Americans have enjoyed them with Maple syrup, we don't recommend it for your fullest enjoyment. The word translates to "Apple Slices" because they traditionally were stuffed with apples, but the tradition stopped a long, long time ago. The story is that Aebleskiver date back to Vikings as they would make them using the dents in their shields over a fire.
