POI BLINI WITH SMOKED SALMON "LOMI LOMI" AND DILL CREME FRAICHE
Steps:
- First, make the Dill Creme Fraiche. In a non-reactive mixing bowl, stir together all the ingredients. Cover with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for 2 hours.
- For the Poi Blini, in a mixing bowl, stir together the flour, baking powder, salt, and fresh herbs. Stir in the buttermilk, milk, and egg. Fold in the melted butter and the mashed taro. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the batter rest in the refrigerator for 1 hour.
- To make the blini, heat a nonstick griddle or skillet over medium heat. Spoon the batter onto the griddle 2 tablespoons at a time to form 3-inch pancakes and cook them until golden, 1 to 2 minutes per side, flipping them over when bubbles appear on the top. You should have a total of 16 blini.
- Put 2 poi blini on each serving plate. Spread them with the creme fraiche. Drape smoked salmon over each blini. Garnish with ikura, daikon sprouts, and micro greens, then drizzle lightly with olive oil. Serve immediately.
SWEET POTATO BLINIS WITH CURED SALMON, CREME FRAICHE, AND CAVIAR
Steps:
- Place prepared sweet potatoes in a medium saucepan and cover with water. Add 1/2 teaspoon salt. Bring to a boil, and cook until the potatoes are tender and can be mashed easily with a fork. Drain well and return to the saucepan. Add the honey and 4 tablespoons of the butter and mash until smooth. If possible, puree this mixture in food mill. In a small bowl, combine the milk and eggs and stir in the sweet potato puree. In another bowl, stir together the flour, baking powder, salt and cayenne. Add the dry ingredients to the sweet potatoes and stir until just blended.
- Melt the remaining butter and reserve. Heat non-stick skillets over medium-heat and coat with some of melted butter. Drop sweet potato mixture into skillets in 1 1/2-tablespoon amounts. Turn once, cooking until golden and crisp, about 1 minute per side. Transfer to a large baking sheet. Repeat the process with the remaining butter and batter. The pancakes can stand at room temperature for 2 hours. Reheat in a 325 degree F. oven for 5 minutes before serving.
- To serve, arrange 3 blinis on a plate and garnish each with a slice of cured salmon, a dollop of creme fraiche and a small spoonful of caviar.
BLINI WITH SMOKED SALMON
Steps:
- Combine both flours, baking powder, and salt in a bowl. In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, and 1 tablespoon of the clarified butter, then whisk into the flour mixture. Heat 1 tablespoon of the clarified butter in a medium saute pan and drop the batter into the hot skillet, 1 tablespoon at a time. Cook over medium-low heat until bubbles form on the top side of the blini, about 2 minutes. Flip and cook for 1 more minute, or until brown. Repeat with the remaining batter. (I clean the hot pan with a dry paper towel between batches.) Set aside.
- To serve, top the blini with a piece of smoked salmon. Add a dollop of creme fraiche and a sprig of dill.
