Ingredients

  • small beets 
  • 0.8 cup olives black pitted
  • 20 servings butter for pan frying
  • 2.3 tsp yeast dried
  •  eggs 
  • tbsp honey 
  • cup milk low-fat lukewarm
  • 0.5 cup raspberry vinegar 
  • pinch salt 
  • 20 servings salt and pepper freshly ground
  • oz salmon smoked

Equipment

  • food processor
  • bowl
  • frying pan
  • plastic wrap

Directions

  1. Grind the olives in a food processor.
  2. Add the flours, egg, and yeast.
  3. Add the milk in a trickle while stirring.
  4. Add a pinch of salt. Cover the batter with plastic wrap and leave to rise for 1 hour in a warm place.
  5. Cut or slice the beet into very fine slices. Collect the red juice by cutting it over a bowl.
  6. Combine the vinegar and honey, season with salt and pepper, and pour over the beet slices. Set aside.
  7. Stir the collected red juice into the mascarpone and season with salt and pepper.
  8. Heat a flapjack pan, butter the cavities, and pour a spoonful of batter into each cavity. If you don’t own a flapjack pan, you can also pour small spoonfuls into a shallow skillet. You may find it easiest with a squeeze bottle if you have one available. Cook until slightly risen and done in a few minutes.
  9. Cover the blinis with a layer of pink cream, a slice of salmon, and a slice of beet.
