Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 pound Philadelphia cream cheese -- softened
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon lemon rind -- grated
3 scallions -- minced, including
-- the green
3 tablespoons fresh dill -- minced
2 teaspoons Hungarian sweet paprika
8 10-inch flour tortillas -- to 12-inch diameter
2 tablespoons small capers -- drained
1 pound smoked salmon -- thinly sliced
1) Beat together the cream cheese, lemon juice and rind, scallions, dill and
paprika. When these ingredients are well mixed, stir in the capers.
2) Spread each tortilla with one-eighth of the cream-cheese mixture, leaving a
1/4-inch margin. Cover the cream cheese with slices of salmon.
3) Roll up the tortillas tightly, pressing down hard as you roll. Wrap each
rolled tortilla in plastic wrap like a Tootsie Roll. Chill at least 3 hours,
not longer than 12.
4) To serve, slice the rolls 1/2-inch thick. Reserve the uneven ends for
private consumption. Arrange the slices on a serving dish and garnish each
with a tiny dill sprig.
Makes about 60 spirals, because you'll want to eat the "end" ones which would
look uneven if served.
