As I had half a pack of bini leftover from Sunday, I though - "Caviar!"
What else?
This is a "cheap-o" variation on a traditional caviar & accompaniments.
I love caviar, but it is hard to get and so incredibly expensive these days, that I have only had it once this year, on my birthday at Gotham Bar and Grill in NYC.
Real caviar, in my opinion, needs nothing to dress it up except maybe a few Melba toast points or blini. Lumpfish roe is another thing altogether and need a bit of "help". Hence the full Monty of traditional accompaniments.
8 blini
100g lumpfish caviar
4 quails eggs, hard boiled
1 tablespoon reduced fat creme fraiche
juice of 1/2 lemon
1 shallot, finely minced
150g asparagus spears, steamed
celery salt for the eggs.
I just warned the blini, topped them with a smidgen of creme fraiche then the lumpfish roe and a scattering of shallots.
Quails eggs are overcooked here, hence the grey ring around the yolk.
