This recipe comes from Adam Zieminski, chef/owner of Cafe Adam Brasserie in Great Barrington, right next to our Hammertown Great Barrington store. It is one of our favorite farm to table restaurants, and we highly recommend a visit. Check their website at www.cafeadam.org

Ingredients:

8 oz. smoked salmon, sliced
3 oz. fresh goat cheese, at room temperature
3 oz. cream, whipped by hand
1/2 lemon juice and zest
1 splash of sherry
1 TBL chives, chervil, parsley chopped
1 shallot minced
1 tsp mustard
Freshly ground white pepper
Belgian Endive leaves for platter
Lightly grilled young asparagus
Sesame crackers for platter

Directions:

In a food processor combine salmon, goat cheese, sherry, lemon, mustard, herbs and spices. Process until smooth. Then place mixture into a mixing bowl and fold in the whipped cream. Mixture should be light and airy. Place in a small serving bowl and arrange asparagus, Belgian endive and crackers around to dip.
