Caviar Bar Recipes
A Casual Wedding Reception
Also on the table are: Green Roll-ups - B) below and Stuffed Fresh Bell Peppers - C) below.
Method:
Arrange chips in a large flat bowl with the sour cream to one
side, the caviar to the other, each with their own spoons.
Spread the cream on the chip and place a dollop of the chile pepper
flavored caviar in the center.
Roll-ups are made with extra-large flour tortillas. Most stores also
sell green ones, flavored with herbs and red ones made with
tomato. Use the color of your choice. Roll-ups must be made the day
before use to ensure adhesiveness.
1 package of extra-large soft flour tortillas
Method:
Bring the Spread, the cream cheese and the yogurt up to room temperature,
blend or whisk thoroughly until smooth, set aside.
On a clean counter lay out 4 to 6 tortillas.
Spread each tortilla with the mixture, using a spatula to make an even,
thick layer.
Arrange the pepper and avocado strips across, (vertical to your eye, placing about 2 inches
apart, alternating colors. Be sure strips go from top to bottom, trim
pieces to extend length as needed.
Starting from left edge, (The vegetables strips are vertical on the
tortilla), roll to the other side. Wet the end flap with water and place
rolled tortilla with the end flap underneath in a lasagna or baking pan
with straight sides.
Refrigerate overnight.
To serve, remove each rolled tortilla from pan, trim each ragged end
then slice evenly into 2 or 3 inch pieces, as preferred.
On a serving platter, arrange the pieces cut side up (they will resemble
pinwheels) and top with a small dollop of caviar of choice:
Pictured above, the black caviar is COLLINS BOWFIN® - a natural black
that resembles sturgeon, at a more economical price. For a Xmas look,
alternate pieces with bright green and red Tobikkos. CLICK HERE for
products descriptions.
2 large Bell Peppers cut into "boats" about 2 to 3 inches wide
Method:
Bring the Creme Spread and sour cream to room temperature, blend thoroughly.
Amply fill each pepper "boat" with the mixture. Pipe if possible. Arrange the pieces on
their serving plate. At Xmas, red & green pepper pieces shaped as a wreath is festive and in the summer a yellow pepper
sunflower burst with a 3.5 oz jar of Orange Tobikko in the center is a visual delight. Always a Nice Addition
1 8 oz container Collins Caviar Creme Spread® with Absolut Citron Caviar
Method:
Bring the Spread and creme fraiche to room temperature and blend
together thoroughly.
Place mixture into pastry bag with a star tip. If you don't have a
pastry bag you can easily make a funnel with parchment, butcher's or waxed paper.
Cut an opening at the tip, fill the funnel, twist the top shut and
squeeze out stripes to make patterns as desired. (If you happen to have a tip, just drop it in the funnel before filling.) Anvil Club Caviar Tasting
1 or 2 dozen small, round, red-skin or purple potatoes, boiled, cooled, leave skins on.
Method:
Scoop out a bit from the center of each half potato, Cut a thin slice
from bottom so potato will stand up and not roll around.
Place 1 tsp. sour cream in scooped potato centers& top with the caviar. (With potatoes,we especially like
the SMOKED CHICAGO GOLDEN®)
CLICK HERE for product description. 1 pound unsliced cold-smoked salmon
Method: Bring the cream cheese & sour cream to room temperature. blend until smooth, set aside.
Lay the filet of unsliced cold-smoked salmon on cutting board and with
knife or spatula spread with a one inch thick layer of the cream mixture.
Cut inch wide, long strips of the fish and roll these strips to resemble
pinwheels Top with COLLINS CAVIAR of choice.
Pictured above: The bright green WASABI TOBIKKO, (crunchy flying fish roe),
which seems to be everyone's favorite flavor with salmon.
2 or 3 bunches of celery hearts
Method:
Wash & trim celery. Use stalks that are optimum for stuffing. Pipe or
spread the stalks with the CAVIAR CREME SPREAD® and sprinkle a little caviar on
top. Stalks can be left whole, halved or cut diagonally into 3 inch
pieces. The combination of the lemony caviar and spread with celery is
exquisite!
H) Cranberry & Caviar Roll-ups 1 8oz Collins CAVIAR CREME SPREAD® the CITRON flavor
Method:
Please see recipe B) for assembly instructions, refrigerating and
cutting pinwheels. Again, Choose your favorite Collin Caviar to garnish
1 English Cucumber, skin on or scored, cut into rounds OR Zucchini or yellow squash, uncooked, cut into rounds (Yield should be 25 to 30 slices)
Method:
Place vegetable rounds on serving plate, topping each with a smear of
the sour cream. Garnish center with the TOBIKKOS.
The Easiest of All!!!
A platter to pass Around
Even easier, and just as tasty, serve hard-cooked eggs sliced in half & topped with your choice of caviar.
Optionally, add roll-ups for variety on the platter - please see B) above.
A Footnote: Rubschlager makes a variety of small, square "Cocktail Breads" that are ideal for serving caviar
and they are available nationwide. If using crackers, stay away from salted and seasoned ones - the
"Water-Wafer" style are preferable. Or you can use our favorite - French Blini. More Original Recipes Developed by Collins Caviar
Hoe Cakes: Other ingredients: Method: Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees, oil or spray pans. Mix dry ingredients together, add liquid ingredients, and mix just until all is moistened.

BLOODY MARY GAZPACHO
8 large tomatoes, peeled & chopped, including the juice from the cutting board GARNISH: Method: Chop all ingredients by hand! Its worth the effort. Combine all veggies, bloody mary mix, lemon juice, seasonings and stir. Chill at least 1 hour. Add Olive oil and Vodka. Stir well again, and taste for seasonings. Adjust as desired. Chill very well, at least 3 hours before serving. Ladle into glasses. Spread each Melba with sour cream, top with Caviar, and float on top. Serve with a spoon & celery stick in it. BUEN PROVECHO!
Blue Crab Salad with Tobikko Caviar VinaigretteOn Soba Noodles with Sesame Shabu-Shabu Sauce
4 bundles or approximately 8 ounces buckwheat Soba noodles Noodle sauce: Vinaigrette: Method: Boil soba noodles until just barely al-dente (they cook quickly!). Drain and rinse well under cold water. Spread out on cookie sheet, drizzle with sesame oil, toss around a bit, and place in refrigerator. If you are doing this step a day in advance, place in covered vessel and store in refrigerator until ready to assemble, after they are well chilled. In blender, place mustard and vinegar for shabu-shabu sauce. Turn blender on and begin to slowly dribble sesame oil in, to create a creamy emulsion, like a Caesar dressing. Add salt & cayenne as you add oil. Add the Nam-Pla at the very end. Refrigerate until ready to serve. Do NOT dress noodles at this time. In a medium sized bowl, place crabmeat and gently pick through for shells. Add cucumber, red pepper & sesame seeds and toss together gently with your fingers. In a separate small, non-reactive bowl, whisk together first 4 ingredients for vinaigrette. Add caviar at the very end and stir in. Stir into the crab mixture just before you are ready to serve. Place noodles in a large stainless or other non-reactive bowl, and pour the shabu-shabu sauce over them. Toss gently with your fingers or a rubber spatula (metal tongs can break noodles easily). To serve:
