Horseradish Beetroot & Smoked Mackerel Canapés

  2. Top each oatcake with a little mackerel pate and a wedge of beetroot. Finally sprinkle over a few bit of chives and arrange on a serving plate or board.

Mini Toasts with Cocktail Beetroot, Walnuts and Herby Cream Cheese

  1. Cut each slice of bread in half to give 2 bit sized pieces. Arrange on a grill pan and toast on both sides. Allow to cool.
  2. Spread each piece of toast with a little cream cheese, and top with the diced beetroot. Add a piece of walnut to the top before arranging on a serving plate or board.

  1. Cut each slice of pastrami into 2 long thin strips. Smear a dab of horseradish over the pastrami.
  2. Take a rosebud beetroot and roll it up in a strip of pastrami and secure with a cocktail stick. Repeat with the rest of the pastrami and arrange on a serving plate or board.
