Cucumber Stars with Smoked Salmon Cream

2 to 3 large cucumbers
1/4 lb smoked salmon
1/2 lb cream cheese
1/2 tablespoon lemon juice
1/2 tsp freshly ground pepper
salmon roe for garnish
sprigs of dill for garnish

Cut the cucumbers into 1/2 inch thick slices. using a star shaped cookie cutter small enough to fit inside the cucumber rounds, cut each slice into a star shape. Scoop out a well in each cucumber star, using a melon baller or small spoon. (Be careful not to break through the bottom of the cucumber slice.) Place the slices upside down on paper towels to drain. Meanwhile, prepare the salmon cream.

Combine the smoked salmon, cream cheese, lemon juice, and pepper in a food processor. Process until smooth. Adjust the seasoning. Fit a pastry bag with a 1/2 inch round tip. Spoon the salmon cream into the bag. Fill the scooped out cucumber slices with salon cream, and garnish each one with salmon roe and a tiny sprig of dill.
