SMOKED-SALMON AND CUCUMBER ROLLS
Source of Recipe
Gourmet
List of Ingredients
1 (12-inch) seedless cucumber (usually plastic-wrapped)
4 oz cream cheese, softened (1/2 cup)
1/4 cup finely chopped fresh chives
2 tablespoons drained bottled horseradish
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 lb thinly sliced smoked salmonRecipe
Quarter cucumber lengthwise, cutting off and discarding rounded ends. Stir together cream cheese, chives, horseradish, salt, and pepper to taste until combined well.
Pat cucumber dry. Arrange enough salmon to completely wrap 1 cucumber quarter in 1 layer on a sheet of plastic wrap, then spread with a thin layer of cream cheese mixture. Wrap coated salmon around cucumber quarter to cover completely, pressing gently to help it adhere. Repeat with remaining cucumber quarters. (You may have leftover salmon.) Cut rolls crosswise into 3/4-inch pieces.
Cooks' note:
Rolls can be assembled (but not cut into pieces) 1 hour ahead and chilled, covered with plastic wrap.
