House Smoked Salmon Layered With Potatoes Chives Eggs And A Green Apple Froth Recipes

Steps:

• Thickly slice the potatoes and cook in a pan of boiling salted water until just tender, about 10 minutes. Drain well and leave to cool slightly.
• Cut the salmon into wide strips. Crack the eggs into a bowl, beat with a fork until lightly foamy, then stir in the smoked salmon, dill, peas and plenty of salt and pepper. Finally, stir in the potatoes.
• Heat 3 tablespoons of olive oil in a large non-stick frying pan, carefully pour in the egg mixture and cook over a fairly low heat for 10-15 minutes, until the egg is starting to set just under the surface.
• Put a plate that is slightly larger than the top of the pan on top and invert the frittata onto it. Slide it back into the pan and cook for a further 5 minutes to brown the underside. Slide on to a plate and leave to cool for 5 minutes before cutting into wedges. A tomato and chive salad tastes very fresh with this.

Steps:

• Julienne potatoes finely on a mandoline. Heat a non-stick skillet to medium heat coated with a little oil and butter. Drop the julienned strands into pan and season with salt and pepper. Cook until starting to brown. Remove from pan and cut out circles with a 2-inch by 2 1/2-inch high ring mold. Once you have 8 pieces return to skillet to crisp.
• In a bowl combine the diced hard cooked egg yolks, whites and diced smoked salmon with the chives and onion and 2 ounces of the Green Apple Froth.
• Cook scrambled eggs to a soft consistency and add cream cheese just to melt.
• Place ring molds in the center of a 10-inch plate. Place 1 potato galette in each ring mold. Place 1/8 of scrambled eggs on top of potato galette to form a cone. Wrap the soft scrambled eggs with 1 piece of smoked salmon. Spoon the beet reduction one half of the plate. Froth the Green Apple Froth with a hand- held mixer. Once it is aerated and bubbles form on top, spoon out the Green Apple Froth on the other half of the plate.
• Reduce the apple juice by two-thirds with the ginger and thyme. Strain through a chinois and allow to cool. Combine with the other ingredients with the use of a hand-held mixer.

Steps:

• To smoke the salmon heat the woodchips in the smoker over a medium heat until the smoke turns gray. Salt the salmon and add it to the smoker, cover the smoker, turn down the heat to medium and cook the salmon for twelve minutes, turn the salmon over and cook on the other side until the fish is opaque (approximately 10 minutes) and cooked but still moist.
• While the salmon is cooking, bring the chestnuts to a boil in salted water to cover, simmer for 7 to 10 minutes until tender when pierced with a knife. Drain and reserve the chestnuts. In a medium saute pan over high heat cook the shiitake mushrooms in the butter and soy sauce. When the mushrooms are soft add the washed spinach leaves, cover the pot and let the leaves wilt for one minute. Remove the cover. The spinach should be bright green and wilted fold in the chestnuts and taste for seasoning.
• Remove the salmon from the smoker when it is cooked and serve it on the spinach.

Steps:

• Bring a small pan of water to the boil and simmer the potatoes for 12-15 mins until tender. Drain and leave to steam-dry. Return the potatoes to the pan and mash with the butter. Stir in the flour, baking powder, ½ tsp salt and a good grinding of black pepper.
• Tip the potato mixture onto a lightly floured work surface and press into a circle roughly 15cm wide and about 1cm thick, then cut into four wedges.
• Heat a splash of oil and a knob of butter in a non-stick skillet or frying pan over a medium heat, and fry one of the scones for 3-4 mins on each side until golden brown. Repeat with the remaining scones.
• Divide the scones and smoked salmon or trout between two plates, then top with the soured cream and chopped chives. Season and serve.
