.jpg) Serves 6 Serve the following spreads with toasted baguette slices along with a selection of cheeses, toasted walnuts and dried figs The Salmon Rillette: 2 cups white wine 1 tablespoon minced shallots 1 pound fresh salmon fillet, cut into 1-inch pieces 3 ounces smoked salmon, diced 2 tablespoons thinly sliced chive ½ cup mayonnaise 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice fine sea salt and freshly ground white pepper The Garlic Herbed Goat Cheese: 8 ounces fresh goat cheese 2 tablespoons olive oil 1 tablespoon chopped rosemary 1 tablespoon chopped oregano 2 tablespoons chopped thyme leaves 1 teaspoon finely minced garlic 1 tablespoon cracked pepper ¼ cup milk fine sea salt The Guacamole: 2 ripe avocados 1 jalapeno, stemmed, seeded and minced ¼ cup thinly sliced scallions 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro 3 tablespoons lime juice 2 tablespoons olive oil fine sea salt and freshly ground pepper In a shallow pan, bring the white wine and shallots to a boil. When the shallots are cooked, add the salmon and poach it until it is just barely opaque. Remove the salmon from the wine and immediately drain on a towel-lined sheet pan. Strain the wine, reserving the shallots. Place the salmon and shallots in the refrigerator to cool. Combine the poached salmon and shallots in a stainless steel mixing bowl with the smoked salmon, chives and some of the mayonnaise and lemon juice – use the mayonnaise and lemon juice sparingly to begin, so just enough is added. Mix the rillette – do not over mix or mix too hard. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve cold. The Garlic Herbed Goat Cheese: Cream together all of the ingredients and season to taste with salt. The Guacamole: Cut the avocados in half, remove the seed and scoop out the avocado into a mixing bowl. Using the back of a fork, crush up the avocado and add the jalapeno, scallions, cilantro, lime juice and olive oil to the avocado and stir together to combine. Season to taste with salt and pepper and serve with pita or tortilla chips. You must login or register to comment.
