Beetroot & rye tartines served on a large plate

4 tbsp thick Greek yogurt
2 tsp English mustard
4 slices German three-grain bread
(rye, oats and barley)
4 cooked beetroot
about 230g, very thinly sliced

50g skinless smoked mackerel

Method

step 1
Mix the yogurt and mustard together, then spread over the bread and top with the beetroot slices, overlapping them to make an even base.
step 2
For the pastrami tartines, cover the beetroot completely with the pastrami slices, then cut each into six fingers and top each one with a sliver of gherkin.
step 3
For the mackerel tartines, cut each piece of bread into eight squares. Top with the mackerel and red onion, then snip over some of the dill. Keep them chilled until ready to serve. Will keep in the fridge for up to one day.
