SMOKED SALMON CREAM CHEESE ROLL

Steps:

• In a food processor or blender, (or use an electric beater), combine cheese, lemon juice, lemon zest, garlic,onion, paprika, parsley and Lemongrass/chili.
• Process until combined and smooth.
• Spoon onto a piece of plastic wrap and shape into a 6 inch roll.
• Wrap salmon slices around cheese roll to cover, except ends.
• Roll to press salmon to cheese.
• Wrap tightly in new piece of plastic wrap and chill for at least 2 hours.
• Cut roll into 1/4 inch slices, serve on crackers or pieces of bagel.
• (If Lemongrass& Chilli is not available, (I was lucky enough to have a lovely person send me some from New Zealand, wonderful stuff!), use your favourite Hot spice.).
• An alternate way to do these, works well.
• Use unsliced, home smoked salmon, broken into small pieces and add to the mix after processing, so that there are little lumps of the smoked salmon. Roll in the plastic wrap and freeze until using. Then wrap very thin slices around roll after defrosting.
• You could even freeze the rolls without any salmon after wrapping and wrap with the slices of salmon when serving.

• Beat cream cheese, chopped dill, lemon zest, lemon juice, and black pepper together in a bowl. Spoon 1/2 teaspoon cheese mixture into each cucumber cup. Top each cup with 1 salmon strip and 1 dill sprig.
