Mortensaften på Centralen Thy

St. Martin’s Eve is one of those evenings that almost invites us to linger a little longer around the table. In Denmark, St. Martin’s Eve (Mortensaften) is celebrated on 10 November. The tradition dates back to Saint Martin of Tours and is closely associated with gathering family and friends for a festive meal, where duck or goose is traditionally served.

At Centralen Thy, we have taken inspiration from the classic flavours of Mortensaften and added our own distinctive touch.

The evening begins with a small snack at the table and continues with a menu where salmon, Danish æbleskiver, caviar and wood sorrel pave the way for the star of the evening: organic duck from Vester Krogsgaard in Thy.

We serve it with pulled duck, caramelised potatoes, pickled red cabbage salad, Furvus glaze and crispy kale chips.

To finish, we present our interpretation of the beloved Danish dessert risalamande: a fragilité roulade with Amarone cherry sauce and salted caramelised almonds.
