Salt Beef, Gherkin & Mustard with Dill Crostini (Delicious Nov 2020)

I was delighted when opening the Delicious November 2020 issue to see a column dedicated to crostini... in 3 ways! It appears my motto "a crostino a day keeps the doctor away" is catching on.

Admittedly, this combination of ingredients would have once appeared in Saturday Kitchen's 'Food Hell', but this was a very pleasant surprise. Almost like a petite version of a NY salt beef bagel.

🥒 Makes 4 crostini

• 4 tsp mayonnaise

• 2 tsp wholegrain mustard

• 4 slices salt beef/pastrami

• 8 gherkins

• 4 sprigs fresh dill

• a few sprigs fresh lambs lettuce

• raw garlic

• 4 cocktail sticks

1. Mix the mayonnaise and mustard together to make your 'mustard mayo'.

2. Pierce 2 gherkins onto each cocktail stick.

3. Toast your crostini.

4. Rub with raw garlic, and start building.

5. Put a tsp of mustard mayo onto each crostino.

6. 'Stick' a sprig of fresh lambs lettuce onto the mayo.

7. Fold on a slice of salt beef.

8. Pierce with your cocktail stick to hold everything in place.

9. Decorate with the fresh dill.
