Carrot Lox and Beluga Lentil Caviar on Buckwheat Blinis with Lemon Cashew Creme Fraiche
The holidays will be here in no time, so I wanted to start writing some special small-bite recipes for you. Forget the fried or frozen hors d’ oeuvres. We’re talking party food you can feel good about! Here we have a plant-based version of a traditional canapé. It’s fun to use these ingredients in an unexpected and playful way. The carrots and lentils taste like the ocean thanks to the nori sheets and sea salt. The blini are made with nutty brown rice and earthy buckwheat flours, and you get creaminess and a bright citrus flavor in the lemon cashew crème fraîche.
