Smoked Salmon Eclairs

Ingredients

For the eclairs:

  • 50g butter
  • 75g strong white flour
  • Pinch of sea salt
  • 2 medium eggs lightly beaten

For the smoked salmon mousse:

  • 1 pack of triple smoked salmon
  • Cream cheese
  • Whipping cream
  • 1 lemon
  • 1 tub of guacamole
  • 1 punnet of mustard cress

Method

  1. Heat 150ml water in a pan and add the butter until melted. Add the flour and the salt, beat well, and allow to cool. Beat in the egg. Pipe into long straws and bake at 190oc for 15 minutes till golden brown and crispy.
  2. Beat the cream cheese with the whipped cream until fluffy, take two tablespoons out and mix with lemon, before placing into a piping bag. Take one more tablespoon out, mix this tablespoon with a tub of guacamole, pass through a sieve and place into a piping bag.
  3. Blend the remaining cream cheese with ½ the smoked salmon and place into a piping bag.
  4. Slice off the top of the eclairs, ensuring the base is flat so it doesn't roll around.
  5. Pipe blobs of the mousses onto the sliced eclairs.
  6. Cut the remaining smoked salmon into small pieces, place randomly and finish with a sprinkle of cress and a twist of black pepper.

Pork Pie Crowns with Cider Jelly

Ingredients

  • 400g pork mince
  • 200g smoked streaky bacon
  • Pinch of mace
  • Pinch of nutmeg
  • Ground black pepper

For the pastry:

  • 580g plain flour
  • 200g lard
  • 220ml water
  • pinch of salt

For the jelly and glaze:

  • 1 egg, beaten
  • 6 gelatine leaves
  • 200ml chicken stock
  • 100ml cider

Note: A tart ring or pie ring will make it easier for the pastry.

Method

  1. Heat oven to 180oc.
  2. To make the pastry, heat the water and the lard, remove from the heat and add the flour and salt. Beat well and allow to cool.
  3. Melt the gelatine in the chicken stock and add the cider to make your jelly.
  4. Blend the bacon and add the pork mince by pulsing in the food processor.
  5. To make the big pie, start with the pie crust. Roll out the pastry to roughly the thickness of a £1 coin. Using the pie ring, measure roughly double the width to make the side of the pie and to shape the crown. Using the ring, cut out the circle for the base and for the lid.
  6. Using the ring, push the base down to the bottom and then slide in the collar to shape the pie wall with lots of overhang at the top (this will be trimmed later).
  7. Using your fingers, attach the collar to the base and place in the pork mince filling, then top with the pastry lid, stretching the lid around the collar.
  8. Now to shape the crown, using scissors or a sharp knife, cut a zig zag shape around the overhang of pastry on the top to resemble a crown. Brush the lid with egg and using the end of a wooden spoon push into the centre of the lid to make a hotel.
  9. Place the tray into the oven and bake at 180oc for 20 minutes, then turn the heat down to 160oc and cook for a further 30 minutes until the pie is cooked through (a temperature probe would be useful here, but when the juices run clear, the pie is cooked).
  10. While the pie is cooling on a cooling rack, add the jelly into the pies. Using the end of a wooden spoon, re-make a hole in the centre of the pie (the one you made at the beginning may have closed up slightly during cooking, and the pork inside will have shrunk). Using a jug, pour the jelly into the newly shaped hole, add a little and allow it to soak in and then repeat until the pie looks full of jelly (it will soak in). Allow to cool.
  11. Once cold, enjoy with your favorite chutney or a dash of mustard.

Whipped Wensleydale Cones with Celery & Chutney

Ingredients

  • 200g Wensleydale Cheese
  • 100g whipped cream
  • 100g cream cheese
  • Pinch of salt
  • Black pepper
  • Celery stick, peeled and cut into strips
  • Chutney of your choice
  • (Optional: celery seeds, black onion seeds)

For the cones:

  • 1 pack of filo pastry
  • 60g butter, melted
  • Metal pastry horns (for the shape)

Method

  1. Blend the Wensleydale until smooth and add the cream cheese and whipped cream, blending briefly but not too much or the cream will split.
  2. Stir in the salt and pepper to taste and chill until cool.
  3. To make the cones you'll ideally need some metal pastry horns to shape them. Brush strips of the filo pastry with melted butter and roll around the pastry horns to make the cone shape.
  4. When you've made at least 8, place into a preheated 190oc oven and bake for 5-10 minutes until golden brown.
  5. Allow to cool and remove from metal moulds.
  6. Pipe in some of the chilled whipped cheese, and add a blob of chutney. Top again with more of the whipped cheese, garnish with the celery stick 'flake' and sprinkle with optional celery seeds or black onion seeds.

  • 1 melon, peeled and sliced
  • 1 pineapple, peeled and sliced

Method

  1. Grab an empty platter and arrange the melon on the base.
  2. Make a cross using the strawberries, from centre top to bottom, and then from centre left to right.
  3. Arrange the blueberries to make a arrow shape in each corner (see image).
