Snake in the Grass




Source of Recipe


From "Southwestern Flair" Episode AGT-105


List of Ingredients




8 oz. package cream cheese
3 oz. package cream cheese
4 hard-boiled egg yolks, chopped
1/2 pound smoked salmon
Small jar of capers, drained and chopped
Small jar of pimentos or a red bell pepper
3 oz. black olives
1 bunch of chopped green herbs


Recipe



First, you will need to keep some damp paper towels nearby for quick cleanup. Slice the 8-ounce package of cream cheese into four long rectangles. Cut lengthwise again so that you have eight strips. Shape the cream cheese into the body of a snake. Cut the 3-ounce package of cream cheese into a diamond shape and attach it to the point of the snake body to form a head . Cover the head of the snake with egg yolks, using a kitchen knife to mash the egg yolks into the cream cheese. Begin to stripe the body with the capers, salmon, black olive and egg yolk. Repeat until the body is covered. Now, use pimentos or pieces of red bell pepper to make the eyes, tail and the forked tongue. Sprinkle the cilantro in the middle of the snake and all around it -- and you're ready to take a bite of the snake in the grass!
