Preparation

How to prepare Tris di tartine

To make the trio of canapés, first remove the crust from the slices of sandwich bread 1 and divide each into 4 squares 2. Set aside 3 and proceed with preparing the base cream.

Pour the ricotta into a mixer along with the stracchino 4, then add the grated lemon zest 5, salt 6, and pepper.

Drizzle with a bit of olive oil 7 and blend to combine everything 8. If you don't have a mixer, you can use a whisk to combine. Divide the obtained cream into 3 small bowls 9.

TO ASSEMBLE THE SALMON CANAPÉS

Chop the chives 10. Spread a tablespoon of base cream on a sandwich bread square 11, then add a slice of smoked salmon 12.

Season with a pinch of chives 13 and a sprinkle of pink pepper 14. Continue this way for all the salmon canapés 15.

TO ASSEMBLE THE MORTADELLA CANAPÉS

Pour the pistachio crumbs into one of the bowls with the base cream 16, keeping a little aside for decoration. Blend to combine 17. If you don't have a mixer, you can simply mix the two ingredients. Spread a tablespoon of pistachio cream on a sandwich bread square 18.

Add a slice of mortadella 19, then garnish with some pistachio crumbs 20. Continue this way for all the mortadella canapés 21.

TO ASSEMBLE THE VEGETARIAN CANAPÉS

Pour thyme into one of the bowls with the base cream 22, then also add the almond slices 23. Keep a small part of thyme and almonds aside for decoration. Blend to chop and combine everything 24. If you don't have a mixer, you can chop the almond slices with a knife and then mix with a whisk.

Drain and finely chop the sun-dried tomatoes 25. Spread a tablespoon of almond cream on a sandwich bread square 26, then season with a few thyme leaves 27.

Add some almond slices 28, a few pieces of sun-dried tomato 29, and a sprinkle of black pepper. Your trio of canapés is ready 30!

Storage

It is recommended to consume the trio of canapés immediately.

You can prepare the creams a few hours in advance and store them in the refrigerator.

Tip

If you prefer, you can toast the sandwich bread squares.

You can chop the sandwich bread crusts and sauté them in a pan with oil, garlic, and rosemary to make flavored bread to use as pasta seasoning, for example!
