Smoked salmon and pasta salad.


This is a nice light and rather filling salad that is perfect for a sunny day, when you go for a long walk and want to stop for something to eat. Also take away the pasta and you have a really good dressing for a salad that goes really well with roasted beef.
You will need.
170g/6oz pack of smoked salmon
170g/6oz fresh or dried pasta
3tbl spoons of extra virgin olive oil
1tsp whole grain mustard
1tsp horseradish cream
Small bunch of chives
Small bunch of fennel or dill
Small bunch of flat leaf parsley
3tsp lemon juice.
Salt and ground black pepper to taste.

First get a pan of water on ready to cook the pasta. Once the pasta is cooked get it of the heat and into some cold water to refresh it as soon as you can. As to what pasta you want to use it is up to you. Personally any shell shaped pasta is best as it holds on to the dressing better.
Now add your oil to a blow along with the lemon juice, mustard and horseradish. This salad dressing goes well with rare roast beef salads, and all most all smoked fish.  Then use a spoon and mix everything together. Now toss in the smoked salmon and the pasta. Make sure that the pasta is well drained before you add it to the salad.
Finally take the herbs and chop them up and throw then in and toss everything together so it is all combined. Taste and then season to your liking.
It is not a complicated or difficult salad to make but the dressing and the salon and herds make it a winning combination.

A recipe for perfect Yorkshire pudding

Image
A lot is spoken about Yorkshire pudding but is in not such a very difficult thing to do. All it is, is a batter mix that is put in a mould with some oil so that it soufflés up as it bakes. As long as you follow a few simple rules then you should have a perfect pudding every time. To make the batter you will need. 125g/8oz plain flour 300ml/¾ pint milk 2 eggs Pinch of salt Some vegetable oil. Now a lot of propel say that you need a strong bread flour to make a god batter for Yorkshire puddings but I have found that over time it does not really matter. But if you are going to use a strong flour let it rest for a little longer to allow the glutens to start working and get soaked up in the liquid . Take you flour and sift it in to a bowel to make sure that you do not get any lumps. Then make a well in the middle and crack your eggs in to that. Now taking a whisk start to work the eggs in to the flour. It will start to from a thick paste. If you think that it is getting to hard to work then
