Marvellous MACKEREL, BEETROOT and POTATO Salad

THE RECIPE

Mackerel is a luxurious, sustainable, healthy and delicious oil-rich fish that is perfection when smoked. This is an easy, nutritious recipe for a smoked mackerel salad. Smoked mackerel is available plain or peppered; either works well for this dish.

INGREDIENTS:

2 smoked Mackerel fillets                    
4 small Beetroots
10 small new Potatoes
2 handfuls of baby Spinach

DRESSING
2 tbsp Horseradish cream sauce
1 Lemon juiced
125g natural Yoghurt
Salt and black pepper

Prime POT Roast BEEF

THE RECIPE

I see lots of pieces of beef in the shops on special offer. Pieces like brisket or silverside or housekeepers cut, they look like fine pieces of beef, but people often make the mistake of roasting them as if they were Sirloin, rib or fillet of beef. These pieces take longer to cook so are best for a Pot Roast and when given long slow cooking can be very delicious, serve them with some root vegetables and potatoes and it makes for a very fine family meal. Pot Roast is a slow, moist heat cooking method which makes a succulent, flavoursome meal from the less expensive beef cuts.

INGREDIENTS:

1 kg joint of beef                    
2 tbsp Olive oil
3 Carrots, peeled and chopped
3 Parsnips, peeled and chopped
4 small white onions, peeled and halved
1 head of garlic
1 handful of thyme
500 ml stout, but you can use liquid of your choice i.e. stock, water or wine
Salt and black pepper
