Smoked Salmon On Cornmeal Blini
Ingredients
- 1 c. Cornmeal
- 1 Tbsp. Extra virgin olive oil
- 1/2 c. Light beer
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 7 x Egg whites
- 4 Tbsp. Butter
- 1/4 lb Smoked salmon, sliced thin and rolled
- 1/2 c. Creme fraiche
- Fresh chive sprigs
Directions
- Preparation: In a medium size bowl combine the cornmeal, the oil, the beer and the salt and pepper to taste. Whisk the ingredients till well incorporated. In a second bowl, beat the egg whites till it forms soft peaks. Fold 1/4 of the egg white mix into the cornmeal mix till incorporated. Fold the rest of the egg whites into the cornmeal blend till uniform.
- In a large skillet over medium heat heat 1 Tbsp. of the butter. Drop several large spoonfuls (to make a 2" size pancake) of the cornmeal batter into the skillet. Cook till the cakes bubble (about 2 min), turn and cook till they are browned and crispy. Repeat the process making several batches, using additional butter as needed. Don't crowd the skillet.
- Remove the blini and allow to drain and dry on paper towels.
- Place the blini on a large serving tray. Top each blini with a dollop of creme fraiche and a roll of smoked salmon. Garnish each with a sprig of fresh chive.
