BLACK TREACLE & OAT SODA BREAD WITH PICKLED CUCUMBERS, SMOKED SALMON & HOMEMADE BUTTER

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6 and put a baking sheet on the middle shelf. Mix the dry ingredients for the bread with 1 tsp salt. In a jug, mix together the buttermilk and treacle, and add enough water to make up the liquid to 300ml. Mix the wet and dry ingredients together to make a soft dough. If it's very sticky, flour your hands and shape into a round (it doesn't need to be neat). Remove the hot tray from the oven, dust with flour and put the bread on it, squashing it down a little. Use a knife to cut deep indentations in the dough, crossing in the middle to create six triangular pieces. Put in the oven and bake for 20 mins.
• Meanwhile, combine all of the ingredients for the pickle with ½ tsp salt and set aside.
• To make the butter, tip the cream into a bowl and beat with an electric hand whisk for 5 mins until it collapses and splits into butterfat and buttermilk. Keep going until the butterfat starts to clump together, then drain into a sieve over a bowl. Squeeze as much liquid from the butterfat as possible, wrap it in baking parchment and chill until you're ready to serve. Save the buttermilk for another recipe (or if you have more time, make the butter first, then use the buttermilk to make the bread). To serve, unwrap the butter and sprinkle it with sea salt. Serve with the bread, pickled cucumbers, salmon and lemon.

SMOKED SALMON PATE WITH PARSLEY BUTTER

Steps:

• Chop the smoked salmon, removing all hard pieces, bones etc. Pound in a mortar or process in a blender till smooth, then add the butter cut in small pieces. The butter should be cool and firm, but not too hard.
• When all is amalgamated into a smooth paste, add the cream, plenty of freshly ground black pepper, cayenne and lemon juice to taste.
• Turn into a small dish and chill for several hours.
• (I don't have quantities for the parsley butter as it depends on how much you want to make!) Take as much butter as you think you'll need for the crackers/bread and a representative amount of fresh parsley and mix them together. Pop it in a serving dish and return to the fridge for an hour or so to reset properly.
• I tend to then scoop it out in to little balls, which wastes some of the butter, but looks pretty!
• If you've made too much butter you can save it for another day and use it as a normal butter spread, but bare in mind that the parsley flavour increases in strength (which I like!) the longer you leave it. I've left the butter for 3 weeks before using again and it was still perfect.
• Serve the pate and butter garnished with a sprig of parsley or perhaps a curl of smoked salmon, and with hot toast/malba toast/french bread.
