The shrimp pyramid at “Smørrebrød”
sandwich place Jómfrúin received our
coveted “Best Must-Try Dining Expe-
rience” prize in this year’s Reykjavík
Grapevine’s Best of 2015 extravaganza.
We’re big fans of Jómfrúin's classic
cold cut mountains, so we asked them
to contribute a recipe for one of their
best known open-faced sandwiches:
The Hungover Man’s
Roast Beef
From Jakob Einar
Jakobsson of Jómfrúin
This slice was created when a well-
known local hair stylist and media
figure came to Jómfrúin one Sunday
morning after a night on the town and
he says to me: “Save me!” So we did.
Here’s how:
We took a slice of sunflower seed rye
bread and buttered it with Icelandic
butter. We then placed several slices
of roast beef on there with a slick of
mustard and a liberal dose of shredded
horseradish. Finally we butter-fried
some tomatoes and an egg and placed
that on of the roast beef. We then
topped it off with some black pepper
and parsley. It’s a simple and power-
ful meal for those who need to reclaim
their health and the function of their
taste buds.
