Savoury cake

A simple everyday meal can become a festive dish if it is presented as a cake. Simply by using a cake mold, place several layers of different foods and decorate the top.
The cake allows for different variants. The image shows one made of potatoes, spinach, salmon, egg and salad.

Other versions:

It is possible to do a cold cake, adding mayonnaise in every layer.

You can use rice, sweet potato, quinoa, etc. instead of potato; or don’t use any starch if following GAPS diet.

Instead of salmon it’s possible to use chicken, turkey, or any fish or seafood; or without any meat or fish for vegetarians.

Any kind of vegetable is fine. The only condition is that it must not be very wet; so if tomatoes are used, for example, then the core part with the seeds and water must be removed.
