Smoked Trout Bulbs

 

These Smoked Trout Bulbs are my latest 'invention' and I must say, one I am very excited about!  Here goes...

Serve one bulb per person
Difficulty - easy!
Preparation time - all of 15 minutes!

Ingredients
Smoked salmon, about two ribbons per serving
Cream cheese, about 2 heaped tablespoons per serving
Freshly squeezed lemon juice
Freshly ground black pepper
Chives, finely chopped
Dill, finely chopped
Lemon and chives for presentation
Baguette rounds of about 5 mm thick, lightly brushed with olive oil for crostini

Method
1.  Cut a square of about 20 cm x 20 cm cling film per person.
2.  Cut the ribbons of trout in half and pack a square in the middle of the cling film of about 12 cm x 12 cm.
3.  Mix the cream cheese, the chives, the dill, a dash of lemon juice and the black pepper together.
4.  Place about 2 heaped tablespoons in the middle of your trout squares.
5.  Fold the four corners of the cling film together and twist to form a ball.
6.  Set aside to rest.
7.  Heat a pan.  Cut rounds of baguette (about 5 mm thick), brush lightly with olive oil, and brown in the heated pan.
8.  Place the crisp crostini on a plate, top with the trout bulb, and add a slice of lemon, chives, and a sprinkling of black pepper.

It was really yummy - my husband was impressed!
