Smoked Salmon Goat Cheese And Asparagus Roulade Recipes

Steps:

• In a bowl, mash the goat cheese with a fork. Add the yogurt, and mix together until smooth. Spread half on one slice of bread, and top with the smoked salmon. Slice the cucumbers very thin, and layer them over the salmon. If desired, season the cucumbers with a little salt and pepper, and squeeze on some lemon juice. Sprinkle the chopped chives or dill over the cucumbers.
• Spread the remaining goat cheese mixture over the other piece of bread. Place on top of the cucumbers, press down and cut the sandwich in half.

Steps:

• Heat olive oil in heavy small skillet over medium heat. Add chopped shallot and sauté until beginning to soften, about 1 minute. Transfer to medium bowl. Mix in goat cheese, chopped asparagus, and lemon peel. Season filling to taste with salt and pepper.
• Place sheet of plastic wrap on work surface. Using 1/5 of salmon, form 6x3-inch rectangle atop plastic, overlapping salmon slightly. Spoon 1/5 of filling along 1 long side of rectangle, leaving 1/2-inch plain border. Using plastic as aid, roll up salmon into tight log. Repeat with remaining salmon and filling, forming 4 more logs. Refrigerate logs until firm, about 2 hours or overnight.
• Remove plastic from logs. Cut each log crosswise into 4 pieces. Arrange on platter and serve.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Roll out the pastry on a flour-dusted surface and use to line a 22cm tart tin, leaving the excess pastry overhanging the edge. Line with baking parchment and baking beans, and bake blind for 15 mins. Remove the paper and bake for 10 mins more.
• Meanwhile, make the filling: put the butter, flour and milk in a pan. Heat, stirring all the time, until it makes a very thick, smooth sauce. Stir in the egg yolks, lemon zest, dill and seasoning.
• Beat the egg whites in a clean bowl with an electric hand whisk until they hold their shape, then fold carefully into the sauce.
• Tear the salmon slices into large pieces and arrange half over the base of the tart with half the goat's cheese. Spoon over the soufflé sauce, then arrange the remaining salmon and cheese on top with some extra dill and black pepper. Bake for 25-30 mins until puffed up and golden. Trim the pastry edges. Transport still in the tin, or on a serving plate, wrapped with foil.
