Pea Blini with Smoked Trout

This is a very pretty little canapé. The pink trout looks very appetising on the bright green pea blini and the sugar snap peas add some lovely crunch. They are always popular when I make them.

The whipped feta makes a great dip on its own - beating it makes it wonderfully smooth and creamy. The canapé is easy and fairly quick to make, quite a bit ahead if necessary and the ingredients make into a tasty main course salad, so no waste. Whoops, I almost forgot, it’s delicious too.
