We celebrate Swedish national day on Tuesday and
this is what I like to serve. Sandwich cake is very popular here and if you try
it you will understand why. Bread, shrimp and mayo is a great combination on
its own and with a few extra ingredients you get this rich tasting cake that is
out of this world good!
Ingredients for 6 individual cakes
24 slices of bread
300-400gr small shrimp for the filling+200gr big
shrimp for decorating
3-5tbsp mayonnaise or enough to coat all the
shrimp+1-2tbsp for decoration
1-2tbsp crème fresh (gräddfil) to lighten up
the filling
A few drops of lemon juice (optional)
Salt
Pepper
A bunch of finely chopped dill
A bunch of finely chopped parsley
6 thin half moon lemon slices
6tsp of red caviar
Process
Cut out a circle out of each slice of bread.
In a bowl combine small shrimp, mayo, crème fresh,
lemon juice, salt and pepper.
In another bowl combine finely chopped dill
and parsley.
Top each circle of bread with a tsp of the
filling, then add another layer of bread followed by a tsp of filling, repeat
the process once more and finish with a fourth and final circle of bread.
Using a palette knife, cover the cakes with a
thin layer of mayo all around and on tops.
Place all the cakes on a cooling rack then
with hands full of herbs go around the sides until they are all covered.
Cover each cake top with a layer of large shrimp,
they can overlap a bit. Place a lemon slice in the middle, a tsp of caviar and
some dill.
Enjoy!
