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.

SMOKED-SALMON AND CUCUMBER ROLLS

Steps:

• Quarter cucumber lengthwise, cutting off and discarding rounded ends. Stir together cream cheese, chives, horseradish, salt, and pepper to taste until combined well.
• Pat cucumber dry. Arrange enough salmon to completely wrap 1 cucumber quarter in 1 layer on a sheet of plastic wrap, then spread with a thin layer of cream cheese mixture. Wrap coated salmon around cucumber quarter to cover completely, pressing gently to help it adhere. Repeat with remaining cucumber quarters. (You may have leftover salmon.) Cut rolls crosswise into 3/4-inch pieces.
