Method
- Begin by preparing the beetroot chutney - ideally, this will need to be made a few weeks in advance to allow the flavour to develop
- Dice enough beetroot into 1cm cubes until you have 500g, then place in a saucepan with the apple, dill, onion, vinegar and sugar. Bring to the boil, then reduce the heat and cook slowly until the liquid has reduced and the beetroot is cooked and resembles a thick jam
- 550g of large beetroot, raw, peeled
- 1 Bramley apple, large, peeled, cored and chopped
- 2/3 tbsp of dill seeds
- 2 red onions, finely chopped
- 250ml of red wine vinegar
- 250g of caster sugar
- Spoon into sterilised jars, allow to cool and store in a cool, dark place until the flavour has matured nicely
- The night before cooking the dish, prepare the pickled cucumber. Peel the cucumber, slice in half lengthways and scoop out the seeds. Cut into 5mm thick slices, sprinkle with a little salt and place in a bowl
- 1 cucumber
- salt
- Add the vinegar, sugar and dill seeds to a pan and bring to the boil, then pour the liquid over the cucumber and allow to cool. Leave in the fridge overnight to pickle
- 200ml of white wine vinegar
- 200g of sugar
- 1 tsp dill seeds
- Add the diced salmon to a bowl with the breadcrumbs and some chopped dill. Season with salt and pepper and mix well
- salt
- pepper
- 80g of breadcrumbs

- To prepare the salad, sour the double cream with a little fresh lemon juice to taste and store in the fridge for an hour
- 80ml of double cream
- lemon juice
- Season the cream with a little salt and a tiny pinch of cayenne to taste. Trim the base off the baby gem lettuce, separate the leaves and wash well. Dry the crispy gem lettuce leaves thoroughly, then mix them in with the cream until nicely coated

- 1 pinch of cayenne pepper
- 1 gem lettuce
- Preheat the oven to 160°C/gas mark 3
