Pasta With Salmon Caviar Recipes

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of water to a boil and add a large pinch of salt. Add the tagliarini and cook until al dente. Drain the pasta, reserving about 1/2 cup of the cooking water.
• In a large, deep skillet, melt the butter over moderate heat. When the foam subsides, add the minced shallot and cook over moderately low heat for 2 minutes, stirring. Add the crème fraîche, parsley and tarragon. Stir in about 1/4 cup of the reserved pasta cooking water and season with pepper. Add the pasta and smoked salmon ribbons and toss well. Add up to 2 more tablespoons of the reserved cooking water if the pasta seems too dry. Remove from the heat. Add three-fourths of the caviar and toss gently. Serve in shallow bowls, garnished with the remaining caviar.

Steps:

• Cook pasta in large pot of boiling salted water until almost tender, stirring occasionally, about 6 minutes. Add asparagus and cook until pasta is tender but still firm to bite, about 3 minutes longer. Drain. Transfer to large bowl.
• Meanwhile, stir cream, 1 tablespoon butter, and lemon peel in heavy small saucepan over medium-high heat until mixture comes to simmer. Reduce heat to low. Whisk in 2 tablespoons cheese. Cook until sauce is smooth and thickens slightly, stirring constantly, about 1 minute.
• Add sauce to pasta and asparagus and toss to coat. Add remaining 1 tablespoon butter, 2 tablespoons cheese, and lemon juice; toss again to coat. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Divide pasta mixture between 2 warm bowls. Spoon salmon caviar atop pasta. Sprinkle with chives and serve.

Steps:

• Put the bread on a work surface. Cover two of the slices with cheese in a single layer. Spread a layer of caviar on the cheese, not quite to the edges. Cover with a slice of smoked salmon, trimmed to fit exactly to the edge of the bread. Top each sandwich with the remaining bread slices.
• Heat 1 tablespoon of the butter in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Lay the sandwiches in the skillet and cook, pressing down gently with a spatula, taking care that none of the caviar oozes out, until browned on one side. Add the remaining butter, turn the sandwiches over and fry on the second side until toasted. Transfer the sandwiches to a cutting board, slice each in quarters and serve.

Steps:

• Rinse salmon carcasses under cold water. Remove any blood spots and discard any gills (they look like the underside of a mushroom cap). Transfer salmon to a 10- to 12-quart pot.
• Wash leeks well in a bowl of cold water and lift from water to a colander to drain. Add leeks and remaining consomm ingredients except egg whites and eggshells to pot with salmon. Bring to a boil, covered, then reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, skimming any foam, 40 minutes.
• Pour stock through a sieve lined with a triple thickness of cheesecloth into a 6-quart saucepan. Boil until reduced to about 9 cups, 15 to 20 minutes, and skim any fat from surface.
• Whisk egg whites in a large bowl until foamy. Crumble reserved shells into whites and slowly whisk in half of hot stock. Gradually whisk egg white mixture into stock in saucepan and bring to a steady boil over moderate heat, whisking constantly. Boil, undisturbed, until all of whites rise to top and stock is clear, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat and let stand 3 minutes.
• Pour stock through a cheesecloth-lined sieve into a bowl. Then pour stock through a paper towel-lined sieve into a 3-quart saucepan. (You'll have about 8 cups.) Reheat and season with salt.
• Whisk together créme fraîche and water in a small bowl set over a larger bowl of hot water until it reaches room temperature, then continue whisking until smooth and forms soft mounds.
• Serve consommé with dollops of créme fraîche and salmon caviar.

Steps:

• Cook pasta in a large pan of boiling water 4 minutes, or until al dente.
• Drain.
• Set aside and keep warm.
• Combine cream, cream cheese, and red onions over medium high heat.
• Simmer 2 minutes.
• Remove from heat.
• Gently stir in remaining ingredients.
• Serve over pasta and garnish with chives, if desired.

Steps:

• Melt butter in a saucepan or wok over medium heat. Add onion and cook until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add salmon and tomato and season with salt and pepper.
• Increase heat to high and cook, stirring constantly, for 2 minutes. Pour in vodka, reduce heat, and simmer, until liquid is reduced by half, 3 to 5 minutes. Pour in cream and simmer until liquid reduced by half again, 3 to 5 minutes. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.
• Meanwhile, fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil. Cook fettuccine at a boil until tender yet firm to the bite, about 8 minutes. Drain, add to sauce and toss to coat.
• Serve sprinkled with caviar and freshly grated Parmesan cheese. Garnish with chopped parsley.
