NEW YEAR'S EVE PARTY - SALMON AND CUCUMBER SANDWICHES


Really good Smoked Salmon can actually be found in parts off the country's coast...really. So ask your fish monger, but I have found some good ones in yes...Chicago.....yes!!!! Oh and if you are allergic to dill like I am...substitute flat leaf parsley..!!!
Only make these appetizer sandwiches when you are ready to serve.
Ingredients:
1/2 cup creme fraiche
3 tbl chopped dill
1/2 english cucumber (seedless)
8 slices of Pumpernickel bread into four 2 inch triangles
1/4 lb thinly sliced GOOD smoked salmon cut into 16 pieces
Salt
Pepper
In a bowl mix creme fraiche with dill and season with salt and pepper. Peel the cucumber and then shave 16 slices of wide long strips and add to a another bowl and season with 1/4 tsp salt and let set for about 10 minutes until softened. Pat dry with paper towels.
Spread the creme fraiche generously on one one side of the pumpernickel triangle then top with a cucumber strip (folded) and curl of salmon and a twist of pepper. Add a piece of bread on top.
Scrumptious with a great New Year's Eve Cocktail!
ENJOY!
