Radish And Scallion Smorrebrod Food

RADISH AND SMOKED SALMON TART

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Roll out the puff pastry into an 11-inch square on a sheet of parchment paper. Transfer the dough on the parchment to a baking sheet. Beat the egg with a splash of heavy cream. Brush a 1-inch border of the egg wash around the edges of the dough, then fold in each about 1/2 inch to make a thin border and press to seal. Prick the center of the dough all over with a fork, then brush all over with the egg wash.
• Bake the dough until crisp and golden brown, about 25 minutes. Prick the center of the dough with a paring knife and gently press with the bottom of a measuring cup to flatten, if necessary. Remove to a rack and let cool.
• Meanwhile, soak the sliced radishes in a large bowl of ice water until crisp and just starting to curl, about 15 minutes; drain and pat dry with paper towels.
• Mix the garlic-herb cheese spread and heavy cream in a medium bowl until smooth. Whisk the vinegar, tarragon, parsley and a pinch of kosher salt in a large bowl. Add the radishes and smoked salmon and toss to coat.
• Spread the cheese mixture on the cooled crust, then pile the radishes and smoked salmon on top. Sprinkle with flaky sea salt.

GOOSE LIVERWURST SMORREBROD

Steps:

• Gently fry the bacon slices in a heavy saute pan. Remove and drain on paper towels. Spill out all but 1 tablespoon of the rendered bacon fat, turn heat to high and add the sliced onions to the pan. Cook over high heat for 2 minutes, or until the onions just begin to turn brown. Remove onions and drain on paper towels.
• Spread 1 teaspoon of butter on each of the bread halves. Top each half with a lettuce leaf that overlaps slightly on all sides. Spread 1 ounce of liverwurst across each lettuce leaf. Cut the bacon slices in half, and top each smorrebrod with a half-slice of bacon. Divide the Sauteed onion rings evenly among the 12 smorrebrod, and garnish each one with the parsley.

RADISHES AND SCALLIONS

Steps:

• In a non-stick skillet cook the radishes and the scallions in the butter over moderate heat for 3 to 5 minutes, or until the radishes are tender. Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the parsley, the zest, and salt and pepper to taste.

RADISH SCALLION BUTTER

Steps:

• Clean and trim the radish bulbs of any errant leaves or roots. Coarsely grate the radishes with a box grater or food processor disc.
• Wring the excess water out of the grated radishes using cheesecloth, a kitchen towel, or paper towel. (They're more watery than you think!).
• Stir the radishes, scallions, softened butter, and salt together with a fork or pastry blender. Add more salt if needed.
• Scrape the butter into a serving dish and refrigerate for an hour to allow the butter to re-firm slightly.

RADISH & SCALLION SALAD

Steps:

• Rinse and dry the vegetables. Slice the scallions and place in a bowl. Add some salt and all of the sugar - this salad is supposed to taste sweet - mix gently.
• Cut the radishes in thin slices. Mix in the radish slices. Add the creme fraiche, one tablespoon at a time, until you get a mixture resembling a creamy potato salad in consistency.
• Serve immediately, as both the sugar and salt draw out liquid from the vegetables, making the salad soggy.

RADISH SMøRREBRøD

Steps:

• Take 5-6 radishes still with their tops on, and slice the leaves and the radishes thinly, keeping both separate. In a small bowl, mix together 2 tbsp quark, 1 tbsp grated gruyère and the radish leaves, then season well. Spread 2 slices of toasted rye bread with butter, then spread the yogurt mixture on top. Garnish with the radish slices, a good grating of black pepper, a spritz of lemon juice and a few drops of olive oil.
