Ingredients
Units
- 1 recipe Crepes (find recipe here or use store-bought)
- 7 oz (200g) sliced smoked pork loin or ham
- Lettuce (2 leaves)
- 1 medium tomato
- 2 hard-boiled eggs, cold or at room temperature
- 1 cup chopped hearts of palm
- 1/2 cup chopped green olives
- 2 Tbs chopped chives, for garnish
For the homemade mayo:
- 1 cup olive oil
- 1 cup canola oil
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 teaspoon dijon mustard
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- Juice of half a lemon
- Dash of tabasco
Instructions
For the homemade mayo:
- Put both oils in a jar and reserve.
- Put eggs, mustard and salt in the bowl of a food processor fitted with the steel blade. Process for a minute, until foamy.
- Very slowly at first, drop by drop, start adding oils through the feed tube. The first half cup should be added by drops, so it emulsifies well. Have patience.
- After the first cup you can add the rest in a thin stream. The mayonnaise will be thick.
- Add lemon juice and tabasco and pulse to combine. Check seasonings and refrigerate.
- It will keep 3 to 5 days.
- Have ready: room temperature crepes, smoked pork, rinsed and dried lettuce, thinly sliced tomato, eggs and a large hole grater, hearts of palm, olives and mayonnaise.
I put it together like this:
- In the plate you plan to serve the cake place one crepe and spread a thin layer of mayonnaise
- Arrange smoked pork or ham on top
- Another crepe spread with some mayonnaise
- Arrange lettuce on top
- Another crepe spread with mayonnaise
- Arrange sliced tomatoes, covering the surface
- Another layer of crepe spread with mayonnaise
- Arrange chopped hearts of palm covering the surface
- Another crepe spread with mayonnaise
- Add chopped olives.
- Another crepe spread with mayonnaise
- Grate 1 ½ hard boiled eggs directly over crepe (reserve ½ for top of the cake)
- Last crepe on top. Spread some mayonnaise and grate reserved egg on top, sprinkle with chopped olives and chives.
- Keep refrigerated until ready to serve.
