Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Flour tortillas (large)
- 225 grams Cream cheese (softened)
- 200 grams Smoked salmon
- 12 pieces Asparagus spears
- 2 tablespoons Fresh dill (chopped)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh chives (chopped)
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Olive oil
Instructions
Rinse the asparagus spears and trim off the woody ends. Blanch the asparagus in a pot of boiling salted water for 2-3 minutes, then transfer to an ice water bath to cool. Drain and pat dry.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, chopped dill, chopped chives, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Mix until smooth and well blended.
Lay one flour tortilla on a clean surface. Spread a thin, even layer of the cream cheese mixture over the entire tortilla.
Place a layer of smoked salmon slices over the cream cheese, leaving a small border around the edges.
Arrange 3 cooked asparagus spears horizontally across the bottom third of the tortilla.
Gently roll up the tortilla tightly, starting at the edge where the asparagus is placed, to form a log. Use olive oil on your fingertips to seal the edge if needed.
Repeat the process with the remaining tortillas and ingredients.
Wrap each rolled tortilla in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, allowing the pinwheels to set.
Unwrap the rolls and use a sharp knife to slice them into 1-inch pieces to create pinwheels.
Arrange the pinwheels on a serving platter and garnish with extra dill or chives if desired. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
