Smoked Salmon On Irish Soda Bread With Chive Butter Recipes

Steps:

• For the hard-cooked egg aioli: Place the eggs in a single layer in a straight-sided sauce pan, and cover completely with water. Bring to a boil, and then remove from the heat and cover tightly with a lid, 15 minutes.
• Immediately shock the eggs in an ice bath. When the eggs are cool enough to handle, gently peel off the shells and finely chop.
• Stir together the mayonnaise, dill, horseradish, mustard and capers until combined. Fold in the eggs, and season with salt and pepper. Cover and refrigerate at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
• For assembly: Slice the bread into 1/2-inch slices, and then cut each slice lengthwise into 3 or 4 pieces to create 35 to 40 crostini.
• Top each crostini with a slice of salmon and a dollop of the aioli, and garnish with dill fronds.

Steps:

• 1. Slice the soda bread into thin slices, about 1/4 inch thick and cut each slice into a rough 2-inch square until you have 16 pieces.
• 2. Mix the butter and chives together and spread a small amount onto each square. Top with a small fold of salmon and garnish with a sprig of fresh dill.

Steps:

• For the bread:.
• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Put the oatmeal in the food processor and pulse til finely ground.
• Pour into a bowl and add flour, sugar, baking soda, salt, raisins and caraway seeds. Stir well to combine.
• Pour buttermilk in and stir til combined.
• Shape the dough into a 6 inch round and put onto a baking sheet.
• Bake in top half of oven for 30-40 minutes, until lightly brown.
• When tapped, the bread will give off a firm, hollow sound. Let cool.
• For the crostini:.
• Mix the butter and chives together.
• Once cool, slice the soda bread into slices and toast either in toaster or on baking sheet under broiler for a few minutes each side.
• Spread each slice with chive butter, top with smoked salmon, and cut each slice in half or thirds.
• Garnish each piece with dill.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F and line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Add the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, garlic powder, onion powder and pepper to a large bowl. Whisk to break up any lumps of flour. Add the Cheddar and chives. Stir to evenly combine the ingredients. Set aside.
• Add the buttermilk and egg to a 2-cup measuring cup. Use a fork to scramble the egg into the buttermilk.
• Add the buttermilk mixture to the bowl with the flour mixture and use a rubber spatula to mix the ingredients until a shaggy dough forms. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured work surface. Lightly flour your hands and knead the dough until it comes together, about 1 minute. Flip the dough so that it is seam-side down and transfer it to the prepared baking sheet. Use a serrated knife to cut a 1/2-inch-thick X on the top of the dough.
• Bake until the bread is golden brown, 25 to 30 minutes.
• Let cool slightly on a wire rack before slicing.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F.
• Whisk together flours, oats, wheat germ, baking soda, salt, and caraway seeds in a large bowl. Blend in 3/4 stick cold butter with your fingertips until mixture resembles coarse meal. Add buttermilk and stir until dough is evenly moistened. Knead dough on a lightly floured surface, dusting with flour to prevent sticking, 1 minute (dough should remain soft and slightly sticky). Shape dough into a ball.
• Pat out dough on a lightly floured baking sheet into a 7-inch round. Dust dough with flour and spread lightly over round with your fingertips. Cut a 4- to 5-inch X (1/2inch deep) in top of dough.
• Bake in middle of oven until bread sounds hollow when tapped on bottom, 45 to 50 minutes. Cool on a rack 2 hours before slicing.
• Make canapés with bread, softened butter, salmon, chives, and pepper to taste.

Steps:

• First, make the soda bread. Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 4 and dust a large baking sheet with flour. In a large bowl, combine the flours, bicarbonate of soda and 1 /4 tsp salt. Pour the buttermilk, egg and honey into a jug and whisk to combine.
• Make a well in the centre of the dry ingredients and pour in the wet mixture. Using a wooden spoon, bring the mixture together to form a dough - if it's too wet and sticky, add a little extra flour. Shape into a rough ball and place on the prepared baking sheet. Sprinkle over a little flour, make a criss-cross incision on top of the loaf and bake in the oven for 35 mins - the bread is cooked when you tap the bottom and it sounds hollow. Slide onto a wire rack to cool a little before slicing.
• Meanwhile, using a peeler, slice the cucumber into long ribbons all the way around, but discard the seeded centre. Place in a bowl, sprinkle with a little seasoning and mix well with the dill.
• Serve at the table with the salmon slices, capers, lemon wedges, soda bread and butter.
