Tartlets Of Red Caviar Food

CAVIAR AND CRèME FRAîCHE TARTLETS

Steps:

• Arrange tart shells on a serving platter. Spoon crème fraîche into a small resealable plastic bag and snip a 1/4" opening in the corner. Pipe about 1/2 tablespoon crème fraîche onto one side of tart shells and spoon 1/2 teaspoon caviar onto the other side. Garnish with chives and serve immediately.

TARTLETS OF RED CAVIAR

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
• To make the dough, place the flour, butter, sugar and salt in the bowl of a food processor. Process for about 10 to 15 seconds. Add the egg yolk and 2 tablespoons of water. Process for another 10 seconds just until the mixture pulls away from the sides and begins to form a ball.
• Place the dough between 2 sheets of plastic wrap and roll it out to a thickness of about 1/8 inch. Cut with a 2-inch circular cookie cutter. Press the circles of dough into 24 small, round or oval tartlet shells. Arrange on a cookie sheet and bake for 10 to 12 minutes until nicely browned. Remove from the molds.
• To make the filling, place 1 teaspoon of the sour cream in each tartlet shell. Top each with 1 teaspoon of the caviar. Sprinkle with the chives and serve immediately.

CAVIAR TART

Steps:

• Put 1/2 cup sour cream in a paper-towel-lined sieve set over a bowl, then let drain, covered with plastic wrap and chilled, 3 hours.
• Stir together remaining 1/4 cup sour cream, eggs, onion, butter, dill, zest, salt, pepper, and 1 tablespoon chives until combined well.
• Invert bottom of springform pan (so that turned-up edge is underneath for easy removal of tart) and close side of pan around bottom. Spread egg mixture evenly in pan with offset spatula, smoothing top. Cover surface with plastic wrap, pressing gently, and chill until firm, at least 3 hours.
• Spread drained sour cream evenly over egg mixture with offset spatula.
• Gently spread half of caviar on several sheets of paper towels to absorb excess cuttlefish ink. Carefully lift caviar from paper towels and spread on top of egg mixture (be careful not to smash caviar). Repeat method with remaining caviar. Serve cut into wedges and sprinkled with remaining chives, if desired.

CAVIAR TORTE

Steps:

• Mix the bottom layer ingredients and put in an 8 inch springform pan.
• Put middle layer on top of that; and then mix top layer ingredients and put on top.
• Chill overnight.
• Use a cookie cutter on top and fill with caviar to make a nice design.
• We used a heart shape at the wedding and filled it with salmon roe and made a nice design of salmon roe around the border-- one of our colors was orange for the wedding so it looked lovely.
• I've also seen this with small red caviar in the middle in a heart shape with black caviar all around the edges-- gorgeous.
• remove the sides of the springform pan to serve with crackers.
