Vegetarian Smörgåstårta (Swedish)

This star dish is from our cooking club: Chüchikästchli!  

Vegetarian Smörgåstårta: Its a Swedish speciality and Anne-li showed us how to make it in our cooking club. It is served as a main course. It was phenomenal. I loved it so much that I really have no words to express myself. It was very refreshing, fresh, delicious dish and the combination of the ingredients was incredible. I cant thank Anne-li enough for that.

Tip: This was the Vegetarian version which was made for me and of course all other people. The non Vegetarian version was with sea food, will also put up soon. I did not add Blue Cheese to this, as I am not a big fan of that and also depending on what you dont get in your area, you can be a bit creative and flexible. This was really a fantastic dish and I loved it. It can be made for big gatherings as it can be very well made in advance. It would also be great to serve at festivals, Sommer parties and even birthdays. My girls loved it too, the flavours are really amazing. Go ahead and try it, you will not regret it.
