    Smoked Salmon "Carrots"


    Source of Recipe


    gilly and Recipe courtesy Bob Blumer

    List of Ingredients




    1 bunch fresh dill
    1/2 cup cream cheese, at room temperature
    1 tablespoon capers, drained of all brine
    1 lemon, zested, then squeezed
    1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
    4 slices pumpernickel bread (The dense, thinly sliced type that comes in a block)
    8 ounces smoked salmon

    Recipe



    Stem and mince 3 tablespoons of dill, then reserve the remaining stems for garnish
    In a food processor, blend cream cheese, capers, lemon zest, lemon juice, black pepper, and minced dill, until smooth. If you don't have a processor, mince capers by hand, then use a fork to blend with the other ingredients.

    Spread a 1/8-inch layer of cream cheese mixture over pumpernickel slices. Cover cream cheese mixture with a single layer of salmon. Double up where the salmon gets thin.

    Using the longest, sharpest knife available, trim all 4 four edges, then slice into long triangles and round the top edges.

    Select the best looking dill sprigs and bare the stems after 1 inch from dill top. Place canapes on a serving plate, then insert a 1-inch dill sprig "carrot top" in each canape between the salmon and the bread
