Use pumpernickel cocktail rounds or fresh or toasted Scandinavian- or German-style whole rye bread (such as Dimpflmeier), with the crusts removed and each slice cut into 4 squares or (with a cookie cutter) into circles.

Ingredients

  • 1/3 cup  (75 mL)  pressed cottage cheese
  • 1/4 cup  (60 mL)  sour cream
  • 1/2 cup  (125 mL)  finely grated red radishes
  • 2 tbsp  (30 mL)  finely chopped  chives
  • Pinch each  salt and white pepper
  • 2 tbsp  (30 mL)  (approx) butter, softened
  • 32 cocktail rounds or squares (see above)
  • 5 to 7 oz (150 to 200 g) sliced smoked salmon, cut to fit rounds or squares
  • 2 tbsp  (30 mL)  (approx) whitefish roe or black lumpfish roe

Preparation

With fork, mash cottage cheese with sour cream until almost smooth.

Place radishes in fine sieve; squeeze out liquid. Stir into cheese mixture together with chives, salt and pepper.

Lightly butter each cocktail round and top with salmon slice. Top with about 1 tsp/5 mL of the cottage cheese mixture, then scant 1/4 tsp/1 mL of the roe.

Makes 32 canapés.
