Belhaven Smokehouse

I HEADED out for a heatwave drive to East Lothian to, if nothing else, enjoy the one space I own that features air conditioning. I always endeavour to pop into Belhaven Smokehouse shop and came home with their beetroot cured cold smoked salmon. The quality is quite exceptional, the texture being night and day from anything even slightly inferior. Like J-Lo and

Ben, beetroot and horseradish is a love story that never dies so I served mine with some blinis and a sauce of one part mayo, one part horseradish sauce, a light dusting of lemon rind and squeeze of the juice. I topped my cute little stacks with a couple of capers.
