Smoked Salmon & Cucumber Mini-Mousse Sandwiches

MAKES 12

Quite the most elegant flavour combination, smoked salmon and cucumber make these delicate little morsels quite the thing for days at the races or outdoor concerts. Perhaps with a little glass of something sparkling…

Made in ourReinforced Silicone 12 Rectangle Mini Cake Mould.

Ingredients

For the sandwiches

  • 4-5 slices medium-cut wholemeal bread from a large loaf
  • 100g smoked salmon
  • 1 sachet powdered gelatine
  • 90ml just-boiled water
  • 250g cream cheese or reduced fat soft cheese
  • 20g watercress, finely chopped
  • 80g cucumber, finely chopped
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper

To garnish and serve

  • Thin cucumber slices
  • Watercress sprigs
  • Lemon wedges

Instructions

  1. 从面包片上切下12个矩形,和模具的间隔大小一样——一旦你切准了一个,就把它作为其他矩形的模板。
  2. Repeat with the smoked salmon: it’s fine if you have to patch them. Keep these refrigerated. Chop any trimmings from these rectangles very finely and set aside.
  3. Sprinkle the powdered gelatine into the just-boiled water and leave for 5-10 minutes to completely dissolve into a clear liquid, stirring occasionally.
  4. 将奶油芝士、豆瓣菜、黄瓜和任何三文鱼辅料混合。用盐和胡椒粉调味。充分搅拌明胶液体,然后将混合物倒入硅胶模具的隔间。把长方形的面包放在上面。Chill in the fridge for about 1 hour, or until set.
  5. Carefully remove from the silicone mould, inverting onto a work surface or serving plate so that the bread is on the base. Lay the smoked salmon rectangles on top to create a ‘sandwich’. Garnish with cucumber slices and watercress and serve with lemon wedges.

Tip:To take to a picnic, pack in a suitable container, with non-stick baking parchment between the layers. Keep in a cool box or bag with freezer blocks to keep chilled.
