Bulsur
Matís operates a so-called food workshop. The food factory is in fact a kitchen and processing facility with a variety of equipment, appliances and utensils available so that it is possible to carry out a variety of food processing in the facility. Processing may take place provided that it has obtained the required operating license or certification.
Two of the entrepreneurs who have worked on their projects at Matarsmiðjan are Berglind Häsler and Svavar Pétur Eysteinsson with production at Bulsum.
The couple Berglind and Svavar Pétur are behind the making of vegetable sausages which they call Bulsur and produce under that brand. In 2012, the idea for Bulsugerðin came to Svavar's mind, who found himself in the position of longing for a classic sausage but did not want to consume any meat products. He then decided to take matters into his own hands and develop sausages that were suitable for those who opted for a vegetarian diet.
At Bulsugerðin, an attempt was made to use mainly raw materials found in the local area, and after considerable experimental work, he found that barley was a suitable ingredient to build on. All kinds of other ingredients were tested and in 2013 the mixture was perfect. The buns are made from Icelandic organically grown barley barley, beans, flour, seeds and fresh spices and they are without any additives. Furthermore, they do not contain any animal products and the ingredients are as organic and Icelandic as possible.
The couple have continued to experiment with various types of food production over the years, but the Bulsurs have always held their ground and absorbed the weather with the increased interest in the country's vegetarian or vegetable diet. It is best to grill the bulsur or fry them in a pan. The imagination can then completely control how they are served, but they fit with most side dishes and in various dishes. You can serve them in bread like a traditional sausage with everything, put them in a pasta dish or have a daydream, for example. Bulsur is available in most supermarkets all over the country, but in addition, several restaurants offer dishes from the menu that contain Bulsur.
