RED PEPPER PANCAKES WITH SMOKED SALMON, CAVIAR AND CHIVE CREAM SAUCE

Steps:

• Char the peppers over a flame; place in a bowl and cover to steam until cooled. Peel and seed, reserving the juice.

• Add the eggs, egg yolk, 2 tablespoons of the chopped chives, salt and pepper and blend thoroughly.

Cook about 1 1/2 minutes until golden brown on the bottom. Turn and cook on the other side until golden brown and cooked through.
• Serve 4 slightly overlapping corncakes on each of 6 salad plates. Add a mound of crème fraîche in the center of the plate. Spoon 1 tablespoon golden caviar on top of the crème fraîche and 1 teaspoon black caviar on top of the golden caviar. Sprinkle with the remaining chopped chives and serve.
