It's all about easy and elegant on New Year's Eve.
This is a staple appetizer in my house. Trader Joe's sells Belgian endive spears with the Treviso (or radicchio) in the same package, so it's a colorful deal.
Make the smoked trout spread (can be made the day before). Baked smoked salmon can also be used if you can't find the trout.
2 cans of smoked trout, drained and flaked
1 tablespoon of creme fraiche
1 tablespoon of Hellman's mayonnaise
squeeze of fresh lemon juice
handful of chopped chives or scallions
1 tbsp of freshly chopped dill
3 large heads of endive, trimmed and leaves separated (red treviso is nice too)
Spoon the trout spread at the tip of each endive leaf and arrange on a pretty platter.
Can be assembled a few hours before and kept covered in the fridge.
These are pretty and they disappear quickly. Good for a New Year's Day brunch too.
Have a Happy and Healthy New Year!

The two different colored leaves make such a stunning presentation with the smoked trout and dill sprigs. I wish there was a Trader Joe's closer to us...Guess I'll have to settle for just green leaves.
Thank you for all of the wonderful food ideas & recipes that you share with us throughout the year. Wishing you and Henry a happy and healthy 2013.

This is beautiful Stacey, I have a package of 3 different smoked salmon in my fridge, I'm doing this! Happy New Year my Friend!and Henry too!
Stacey, being a WW girl, I make this with fat free Greek yogurt. It's still SO good. I do add mayo but a little goes a long way. The smoked trout is so flavorful!
I didn't know you could buy that treviso radicchio at TJ's. Thanks for the tip. This is a perfect NYEve dish. Happy New Year to you and Hen.
Those would be perfect with champagne
to ring in 2013. Beautiful presentation.
I make smoked salmon and poached salmon just like this for my clients. Its always a huge hit. I never tasted it because I never really eat smoked salmon. I know, i know but i didnt grow up with it so i guess thats why?? I finally tasted it last week and it was good. I cook by taste usually so not sure how i pulled it off. I think id really like smoked trout and the endive. I srv mine with stacys pita chips lol. Im gf so i love the idea of endive!! I add a tsp of dijon, splash of worchestier, tabasco and chives instead of scallion to mine. Have a happy new year!! I really enjoy your blog thanks for sharing your wonderful recipes!
Ohh and a few capers too. :)
Love the spread. Love the presentation. Love the ease. Happy 2013 Stacey! May it be brimming with good things.
