Tunnbrödsrulle

🧂 Ingredients

• 4 sheets Tunnbröd (Swedish thin flatbread)(These are typically soft and pliable, not crisp like a cracker. If unavailable, a large, soft tortilla or a very thin pita bread can be substituted.)
• 4 Hot dogs (preferably a Swedish style like Falukorv)(Choose good quality hot dogs. Falukorv is traditional and has a distinct flavor, but any good quality frankfurter will work.)
• 300 g Mashed potato(Use leftover mashed potatoes or prepare a simple batch. It should be smooth and creamy, not lumpy. Season well with salt and pepper.)
• 100 g Shrimp salad (Räksallad)(This is a creamy Swedish shrimp salad, often made with mayonnaise, dill, and lemon. If unavailable, a simple creamy shrimp salad or even a good quality tuna salad can be used as a substitute.)
• 1 cup Lettuce(Shredded or thinly sliced. Iceberg or romaine lettuce works well for crunch.)
• as needed Optional condiments(Such as ketchup, mustard, or a drizzle of Swedish remoulade sauce.)

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the hot dogs: Heat the hot dogs according to package directions. This can be done by boiling them in water until heated through (about 8 minutes), grilling them until nicely browned, or pan-frying them until warm and slightly charred. Ensure they are hot.

   ⏱️ 8-10 minutes
2. 2

   Warm the tunnbröd: Gently warm the tunnbröd sheets to make them pliable. You can do this by briefly heating them in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds per side, or by wrapping them in a slightly damp paper towel and microwaving for 15-20 seconds, just until warm and flexible. Be careful not to overheat or they will become brittle.

   ⏱️ 2 minutes
3. 3

   Assemble the base: Lay a warmed tunnbröd sheet flat. Spread a generous layer of warm mashed potato evenly over about two-thirds of the surface, leaving a small border at the top and sides. The mash should be smooth and creamy.

   ⏱️ 3 minutes
4. 4

   Add the fillings: Place one cooked hot dog horizontally across the mashed potato, near the bottom edge. Spoon a portion of the shrimp salad over and around the hot dog. Top with a layer of shredded lettuce.

   ⏱️ 3 minutes
5. 5

   Add optional condiments: Drizzle any desired optional condiments, such as ketchup or mustard, over the fillings.

   ⏱️ 1 minute
6. 6

   Roll up tightly: Fold the bottom edge of the tunnbröd over the fillings. Then, fold in the sides, and tightly roll the entire wrap upwards from the bottom, tucking in the fillings as you go. The warmth of the tunnbröd and mash should help seal it slightly. Serve immediately.

💡 Pro Tips

• ✓For an authentic experience, try to find Swedish-style hot dogs (like Falukorv) and soft, pliable tunnbröd.
• ✓Ensure your mashed potatoes are smooth and well-seasoned; they are a key component of the wrap's texture and flavor.
• ✓Don't overfill the tunnbröd, or it will be difficult to roll without tearing.
• ✓This is best enjoyed immediately while the tunnbröd and fillings are warm.

🔄 Variations

• Vegetarian: Use a vegetarian sausage or a grilled halloumi cheese instead of a hot dog.
• Different toppings: Experiment with pickled cucumber, red onion, or a dollop of sour cream.
• Spicy kick: Add a pinch of chili flakes to the mashed potato or shrimp salad.
