Whole wheat and quinoa biscuit with smoked salmon

Not yet rated

Bruno Loubet's smoked salmon canapé recipe produces an elegant Christmas nibble, with light and fluffy quinoa biscuits providing a lovely base for the smoked salmon, herbs and sour cream. For a dairy-free version, simply omit the sour cream - the biscuits themselves use oat milk and coconut oil instead of cows' milk and butter.

Method

1
Begin by preparing the biscuits. Mix the flours, quinoa flakes, baking powder, sugar and salt in a bowl, then tip out onto a work surface and form a well in the centre. Place the solid coconut oil in the middle, then mix well with the tips of your fingers to form a crumble mixture
2
At this stage, make a well in the middle of the crumbs and pour in the milk and vinegar. Stir and bring the mix together to form a dough, being careful not to over-mix. Use a rolling pin to roll out on a lightly floured surface until 1cm thick, then cut out the biscuits using a pastry cutter
3
Preheat the oven to 200°C/gas mark 6
4
Lay the biscuits on a greaseproof-lined baking tray and bake for approximately 10 minutes until golden brown. Once cooked, leave to cool on a cooling rack
5
Once the biscuits are cool, slice in half across the centre and arrange a slice of smoked salmon onto the cut-side of each biscuit half. Top with a small blob of sour cream, add some soft herbs of your choice and serve immediately
  • 200g of smoked salmon, sliced
  • soft herbs, of your choice
  • sour cream

After stints at Le Manoir aux Quat’Saisons, Le Petit Blanc and The Four Seasons Inn on the Park, Bruno Loubet quickly set about making a name for himself as a chef and restaurateur.
