Easy Beet Canapés
What to do
Beet & Smoked Mackerel Canapés:
- Remove and discard the skin from the mackerel and flake into a small mixing bowl. Using a fork, mix through the yogurt, horseradish and most of chives (reserve a few for garnish) and season to taste with sale and pepper.
- Top each oatcake with a little mackerel pate and a wedge of beetroot. Finally sprinkle over a few bits of chives and arrange on a serving plate or board.
Mini Toasts with Beets, Walnuts & Herbed Cream Cheese
- Cut each slice of bread in half to give 2 bite-sized pieces. Arrange on a grill pan and toast on both sides. Allow to cool.
- Spread each piece of toast with a little cream cheese and top with the diced beets. Add a piece of walnut to the top before arranging on a serving plate or board.
Beets Wrapped in Pastrami & a Dab of Horseradish
- Cut each slice of pastrami into 2 long thin strips. Smear a dab of horseradish over the pastrami.
- Take a beet 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.
