Smokedsalmonandeggsontoastwithcapersanddill Recipes

Steps:

• Place the eggs in a large pot and cover them with cool tap water. Bring the water to a boil, lower the heat, and simmer for 5 minutes. Turn off the heat and allow the eggs to sit in the water for another 5 minutes. Drain, then fill the pot with cold water. To peel the eggs, tap each end on a board, then roll the egg between your hand and the board to crackle the shell. Peel under running tap water and allow the eggs to cool to room temperature.
• Place the eggs in the bowl of a food processor fitted with a steel blade. Pulse the processor 10 to 12 times to break up, but not puree, the eggs. Transfer the chopped eggs to a bowl and add the mayonnaise, mustard, dill, salt, and pepper. Combine lightly with a fork.
• Toast or grill the bread. Lay 1 slice of salmon on each piece of bread, spread on the egg salad, then garnish with a sprig of dill. Serve at room temperature.

Steps:

• Bring a pan of water to the boil. Once simmering, drop in 4 of the eggs and set a timer for 6 mins. Get a bowl of ice-cold water ready so that once the eggs are done, you can immediately dunk them in to stop them from cooking. Once cool, carefully peel (be patient as you do it as they will be very delicate and the yolks will still be soft). Set aside.
• Blitz the salmon, smoked salmon, lemon zest and some seasoning together in a food processor to form a paste, then stir through the herbs and capers. Divide the mixture into four balls. Pat the eggs dry, then flatten a ball in the palm of your hand and tease it around one of the eggs until completely covered. Repeat with the remaining eggs. Set aside.
• Get a tray and three shallow bowls. Put the flour in one bowl, stir in the cayenne pepper and season. Crack the remaining egg into another and whisk, then put the breadcrumbs in the final bowl. One by one, dip the Scotch eggs into the flour, egg and then the breadcrumbs. Set aside on the tray.
• Fill a heavy-bottomed pan two-thirds with oil and heat to 180C or until a piece of bread browns in 20 seconds. Working in batches, fry the Scotch eggs for 5 mins until deep golden, drain on kitchen paper and sprinkle with flaky sea salt and a little more cayenne. Mix the mayo with the lemon juice, then serve the Scotch eggs alongside with lemon wedges for squeezing over.

Steps:

• Heat oil in a large, heavy skillet over high heat.
• Add shrimp and saute until done.
• Reduce heat to low, add garlic and stir and cook about 30 seconds or until fragrant.

• Combine onion and salt in a colander; let stand 15 minutes or until wilted. Rinse and dry with paper towels.
• Whisk mayonnaise and remaining ingredients in a large bowl.
• Add shrimp and onion; mix to coat shrimp with dressing.

• In a 15 1/2" x 10 1/2" jelly roll pan, toss potatoes with oil, salt and pepper. Roast potatoes in oven for 10 minutes.
• After 10 minutes, remove pan from oven. With spatula, push potatoes to one end of the pan to make room for the fish.
• Place fish in pan, sprinkle with 1/2 t. salt. Return to oven and continue roasting with potatoes for 15 minutes or until fish flakes easily and potatoes are brown. At this point, you may need to remove the fish and continue roasting the potatoes until done.
• Transfer fish to a platter, top with horseradish sauce and half of the fresh or dried dill.
• Toss potatoes with remaining dill and serve alongside the salmon.
