- Buttery Mashed Potato
- Skeaghmore Smoked Duck
- Raspberries
- Beetroot Hummus
- Ciara’s Pantry Port Jelly
- Almonds
Method
Apple and Horseradish Mash with Skeaghmore smoked duck and raspberries
Mix lightly stewed apples through buttery potato mash. Season with salt and pepper, add some xxx horseradish to taste and let cool slightly. (Do not serve completely cold or the butter will harden and make the mash taste unpleasant.)
Fill the pastry spoons or cases. Tear or cut slivers of Skeaghmore smoked duck, set onto the mash, garnish with raspberries or cranberries and serve.
Beetroot hummus with Ciara’s Pantry Cranberry & Port jelly and almond slivers
Fill the pastry cases with the hummus, add a little dollop of port jelly and garnish with almond slivers.
De la Mer Crab mayo with preserved lemons and Goatsbridge trout caviar
Mix De la Mer crab with a touch of Hellmans mayonnaise. Add a little grated lemon or lime zest and a good twist of fresh pepper. Fill the puff pastry shells and top with Goatsbridge trout caviar.
