Smoked Salmon and Herbed Yogurt Roulade image

Yield Serves 8 to 10 as a first course

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 egg sponge
2 cups plain yogurt, drained in a fine sieve, covered, overnight
1 cup loosely packed flat-leafed parsley leaves, chopped fine
1/2 cup finely chopped scallion greens
1 tablespoon drained bottled capers, chopped fine
3 ounces sliced smoked salmon, cut into 1/2-inch strips

Steps:

Make the egg sponge and let it cool to room temperature, covered with a sheet of wax paper. In a bowl combine well the yogurt, the parsley, the scallion greens, and the capers. Spread the egg sponge evenly with the yogurt mixture, leaving a 1/2 inch border on all 4 sides, arrange the salmon strips in 6 lengthwise rows about 2 inches apart on the yogurt mixture, and starting with a long side roll up the egg sponge jelly-roll fashion. Trim the ends diagonally and slice the roulade.
