Another Barefoot Contessa recipe, this one is from The Barefoot Contessa Cookbook. Ingredients:
1/2 lb unsalted butter, room temperature |
1/2 teaspoon garlic, minced |
1 tablespoon scallion, white and green parts, minced |
1 tablespoon fresh dill, minced |
1 tablespoon fresh italian parsley, minced |
1 teaspoon lemon juice, freshly squeezed |
1 teaspoon kosher salt |
1/4 teaspoon pepper, freshly ground |
1 loaf dense seven-grain bread or 1 loaf health bread |
8 slices smoked salmon |
Directions:
1. For the herb butter, combine all the butter ingredients in a mixer fitted with a paddle attachment. Beat until mixed, but do not whip.
2. For the sandwiches, have the store slice the bread lengthwise into 1/4 inch -thick slices. (if that isn't possible, you can slice it crosswise with a very sharp knife).
3. Lay out 8 slices of bread and spread them all with a thin layer of herb butter. Place smoked salmon on 4 of the slices. Top with the other slice of bread, butter side down.
4. Place the sandwiches on a baking sheet and wrap with plastic wrap. Refrigerate until the butter is very cold.
5. Place the sandwiches on a cutting board.
6. With a very sharp knife, cut off crusts, cut each large sandwich in half crosswise, and then cut each half diagonally twice to make a total of 8 small triangles.
7. If the bread was cut crosswise, follow assembly directions, then cut off crusts, and cut diagonally twice to make 4 small triangles.
8. Serve chilled.
