Mock Caviar Recipes

Steps:

• In small bowl with sealing lid, combine all ingredients except cream cheese, egg & green onion. Cover & refrigerate at least 2 hours.
• Before serving, on medium (8-10 inch) platter (I use a round one) spread cream cheese out into large round circle.
• Carefully spread marinated bean mixture over cream cheese, also in a circle, but leaving about 1/2 inch ring of cream cheese showing around the outer edge.
• Arrange chopped egg on top of bean mixture in a ring around the outer 2/3 of the beans, this time leave a circle of area in the center uncovered.
• Sprinkle green onion in center of the egg ring.
• Serve with tortilla chips or strips.

Steps:

• In a medium mixing bowl, mix together olives, green chilies, tomatoes, green onions, garlic, olive oil, vinegar, black pepper, and seasoned salt. Cover, and chill overnight. Serve cold or at room temperature.

Steps:

• In a small bowl, mix together sour cream, scallions, chives, pepper and salt to taste. Let sit at room temperature for at least 10 minutes so the flavors can meld (or chill for up to 24 hours before serving).

Steps:

• Stab eggplant and roast in medium-hot oven along with garlic heads (brush garlic with olive oil) turn occasionally, until eggplant collapses and garlic is soft.
• (You can use parchment paper or silpat pad to line a pan.) Can also be done in a covered grill.
• Chop onion and red pepper.
• After eggplant cools, scoop out flesh, discarding rind, and squeeze roasted garlic cloves into eggplant.
• Either chop or puree eggplant/garlic in a processor or coarsely hand chop the mixture.
• Add the chopped onion and red peppers but don't process further-the caviar should have crunch from these raw ingredients.
• Add olive oil, Kosher salt, black pepper (and optional herbs &/or spices) and mix well.
• Serve with regular or toasted pita, crackers or crudites.

Steps:

• Make the beluga lentil caviar: Rinse the lentils and put them in a small pot with the water. Bring to a gentle simmer, cover, and cook for about 20 minutes, or until the lentils are soft.
• Drain the cooked lentils and place them in medium bowl. Add the salt, capers, and caper brine. Mix well and refrigerate for a minimum of 2 hours, and a maxi¬mum of 2 days.
• Make the vegan sauce: Mix the vegan mayonnaise with the Miso Mayo in a small bowl and refrigerate until needed.
• Make the blini: In a medium bowl, combine the flours and baking powder. Whisk the nondairy milk and melted butter into the flour until a batter forms. Allow the batter to rest a few minutes.
• Heat a large nonstick pan over medium heat. Add a small dab of butter to the pan or spray it with nonstick cooking spray. To form each blin, pour a little more than a tablespoon of batter into the pan. You can usually cook 4 to 6 blini at a time. Wait until the pancakes begin to show air bubbles all over the tops and the bottoms are brown. Flip the blini over and cook until golden brown.
• Using the back of a spoon, spread a small amount of the Vegan Sour "Cream" on each blin, add a teaspoon of the beluga lentil caviar, and top with a pinch of minced chives. Serve immediately.
