Caviar & Garnishes

Method

Caviar & Garnishes

1

Chill and prepare service

Place a shallow serving bowl on ice: fill a larger bowl with crushed ice (about 2 cups). Set a smaller chilled serving dish or ramekin in the center of the ice so it nestles securely. Keep the caviar tin refrigerated until just before serving.

2

Prepare accompaniments

Arrange 8 blini or buttered toast points on a serving plate. Place 2 tablespoons of chilled crème fraîche into a small dish. Finely chop 1 teaspoon of chives and place beside the crème fraîche. Zest 1/4 teaspoon of lemon over a small bowl and cut the remaining lemon into wedges.

3

Open and present the caviar

Using a clean, dry towel, gently open the 0.5 oz tin of Kaviari Oscietre caviar. Immediately place the tin onto the chilled ramekin that sits in the ice bowl to keep it cold while serving. Do not leave the tin out at room temperature for more than 30 minutes.

4

Serve properly

Using a mother-of-pearl or wooden spoon (do not use metal), transfer small quenelles or spoonfuls of caviar onto individual blini or toast points, or offer the tin for guests to serve themselves. Place a small dollop (about 1/4 tsp) of crème fraîche on each blini if desired, then top with a small amount of caviar (about 0.06 oz or roughly a teaspoon). Garnish with a few chive strands and a whisper of lemon zest. Provide lemon wedges on the side for those who like a squeeze.

5

Storing leftover caviar

If there is any caviar left in the tin, seal it tightly, return to the coldest part of the refrigerator (not the door) and consume within 48 hours for best quality. Keep the tin on ice while serving and do not freeze.
