3 None egg whites
1 large leek, white part only
2 tbsp butter
1 clove garlic, thinly sliced
1/4 cup white wine
3/4 cup heavy cream
2 tbsp chopped fresh dill
1/2 cup sour cream

1
Place the yeast, sugar and milk in a bowl and let stand for 10 mins. Place the plain flour in a metal bowl, make a well in the middle and add the yeast mixture. Let stand in a warm place to rise for 45 mins. Mix in the yolks and buckwheat flour. Let stand in a warm place for another 30 mins. Beat the egg whites with electric mixer until soft peaks form; fold into the blini batter.
2
Halve the leek lengthwise. Wash well, dry then thinly slice. Melt 2 tbsp butter in a medium skillet on medium heat until sizzling. Add the leek and garlic and sweat for 6 mins. Add the wine and cook until it evaporates. Add the cream and cook on a low heat until the cream thickens. Remove from the heat. Fold in the dill and season to taste. Set aside.
3
For the wasabi cream, mix the sour cream, mascarpone and wasabi paste in a small bowl; set aside.
4
Cook the blinis in batches. Heat some of the butter until sizzling and add heaped tbsp-size amounts. Cook blinis for 1-2 mins on each side. Repeat until the batter is finished.
5
To serve, place some of the creamed leek on each plate and place cooked blinis on top. Place smoked salmon on blinis and add a nice dollop of wasabi sour cream. Spoon caviar on top, if using. Scatter with salad leaves and crispy capers, if using. Drizzle with extra virgin olive oil to finish.
