Hovis Swedish Sandwich Cake

This month, I"ve teamed up with Hovis to celebrate today"s launch of their innovative new Seed Sensations Chia Bread, which is itself a partnership with The Chia Co, the world"s largest producer of sustainably farmed Chia seed. To mark the occasion, I thought I"d create a piece of Scandinavian food art! The Swedish sandwich cake, or ‘Smörgåstårta’ as we unpronounceably call it, is one of the most traditional national dishes I can think of, which captures my heritage and at the same time honours the great British love of sandwiches! With culinary roots dating back hundreds of years, it’s a real statement piece, something to exhibit (and then eat) when guests come round – you can really let your creativity go wild! Traditionally it’s made up of an array of wonderful fresh fish (very healthy) and is smothered in mayonnaise (not so healthy). My alternative recipe here uses yoghurt and just a smidgeon of Organic Mayonnaise, which may sound bland but actually tastes superb! It also incorporates layers of the Chia Loaf as building blocks for the towering sandwich cake, as I am a bread fiend and actively embrace carbohydrates as part of my balanced macro approach to wellbeing!
