GOATS’ CHEESE SALAD WITH RICH REDCURRANT JELLY
(Serves 4 as a starter)
Ingredients:
2 tbsp. Tracklements Rich Redcurrant Jelly
1 tbsp. Balsamic Vinegar
125g goats’ cheese log, sliced into ½ inch rounds
Handful of rocket leaves
Handful of crisp lettuce
½ red onion, very finely sliced
1 small carrot, grated or julienned
8 cherry tomatoes, halved
Olive oil
Method:
Mix the Redcurrant Jelly and vinegar together in a small pan over a low heat, stirring until the jelly has dissolved, take off the heat and set aside.
Place the goats’ cheese rounds onto a baking sheet and place under a moderate grill. Grill for 2-3 mins or until the cheese has turned a golden brown.
Meanwhile, mix the rocket, lettuce, onion, carrot and tomatoes together and divide between the four plates. Drizzle with olive oil.

POTATO SALAD
(Serves 4 as a side dish)
Ingredients:
1kg waxy potatoes (good varieties are Charlotte, Anya, Nicola), cut into bite-sized pieces.
1 small red onion, very finely chopped
1 tbsp. capers
2 tbsp. gherkins, roughly chopped
Handful of flat leaf parsley, chopped
Sprinkle of dried chilli flakes (optional)
Sea salt and cracked black pepper
For the dressing:
4 tbsp. crème fraiche or natural yoghurt
2 tbsp. Tracklements Mustardy French Mayonnaise
2 tsp Tracklements Smooth Dijon Mustard
1 tsp chopped chives
Method:
Place the potatoes in a saucepan of boiling water and cook uncovered for 15-20 mins or until tender.
Meanwhile, make the dressing by combining all the relevant ingredients and mixing well. Whilst the potatoes are still warm, add them to the dressing along with the onion, capers, gherkins, parsley, chilli, salt & pepper and mix well. Combining the ingredients when the potatoes are warm ensures the potatoes absorb the dressing as they cool.
Serve immediately at room temperature.
