Cream Cheese Smoked Salmon And Chive Latke Bites Recipes

Steps:

• Cover each bagel chip with cream cheese. Drape small slices of salmon on top of each. Place capers on top and cover with green onions.

Steps:

• Spread one side of toasts with cream cheese and top with salmon, wrapping salmon ends under toasts. Sprinkle salmon with chives and red onion and halve toasts diagonally.
• Divide toasts and lemon wedges between 2 plates and serve with endive salad.

Steps:

• Put the grated potato in a medium bowl. With a wooden spoon, stir in the egg, chives, parsley and olives. Season with salt and pepper, and stir well to combine.
• To make large criques, warm 1 1/2 tablespoons of the olive oil in a medium nonstick pan over high heat. With your fingers, scoop out one half of the potato mixture, squeeze out the excess liquid between your hands and drop in the center of the pan. Using a fork or spatula, flatten the mixture firmly. Cook the crique over low to medium heat for about 6 to 8 minutes, until golden brown. Flip and cook for an additional 3 to 4 minutes, or until the exterior is crisp and golden brown and the interior is tender. Repeat using the remaining olive oil and potato mixture.
• To make small criques, lightly brush the insides of three 3 1/2-inch-diameter ring molds with olive oil. Heat the pan with additional oil, and place the molds into the pan. Squeeze the excess liquid out of the potato mixture between your hands, and place 1 1/2 tablespoons inside each ring. Proceed as above, cooking for 3 to 4 minutes on the first side. Using tongs, remove the molds from the criques and gently press with a spatula. Flip and cook for an additional 1 to 2 minutes, or until the exterior is crisp and golden brown and the interior is tender. Set the criques aside. Repeat until remaining olive oil and potato mixture are used up.
• To serve, sprinkle the criques with salt and top with a dollop of sour cream. Place a small mound of the smoked salmon on top, and drizzle some of the lemon juice over the salmon. Sprinkle with the lemon zest, chives and black olives, and season with pepper. Garnish with parsley, and drizzle some olive oil around the plate. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Mix the mascarpone, cream cheese, capers and chives, lemon zest and enough lemon juice to flavour it, but not enough to make it runny.
• Season really well.
• Spread the mascarpone mix over all the bread slices, then cover completely with a layer of salmon.
• Put one bread slice on top of another, so you have a four separate stacks, each 2 deep (with smoked salmon on top).
• Carefully cut each into 6 bite-sized squares with a serrated knife.
• Dip the ends of the squares in chives and decorate with extra shreds of lemon zest if you like.
