Anna's Family Kitchen was inspired by my love of food and desire to feed my family healthy, home cooked wholesome meals that are beautifully presented and appealing but don’t require hours of prep in the kitchen.
Gin Cured Smoked Salmon & Quails Egg Crostini
Here’s a recipe I created to pair with Mirabeau’s Rose Gin. As you would expect from Mirabeau, this Gin is so elegant, aromatic and light. I used a splash of gin to cure the salmon and topped toasted French bread with a little crème fraiche mixed with horseradish, the salmon and finally a quail’s egg.
