Recipe Ideas from The Sauce

This month The Sauce tests a recipe for warm salad of smoked haddock with butter sauce and chives something that can easily be done by the camp fire with the local catch of the day.

  • How readily available were the ingredients? I bought the smoked haddock (undyed) easily from my local fishmonger. The salad leaves, chives and potatoes were from our weekly farmers' market, so all were local and seasonal.

  • How easy was it to make and how much time did it take?
    It took just over half an hour to make. Most of the time was spent waiting for the potatoes to cook, so it's really a very quick dish to put together.

  • What was the sum total cost of this meal
    £5.90

  • How many people did it actually feed?
    I fed 3 but it was on the small small side so I would recommend the recipe for 2.

  • What did you do with the leftovers?
    There were no leftovers.

  • Is there anything you would have done differently?
    I would put more salad leaves on the plate next time. I would also boil the potatoes in advance which would make them easier to cut up - without burning your fingers - and make the dish quicker to prepare.

  • What did your guests think of the meal?
    They gave it 9 out of 10. This was a fantastically fresh, summery and delicious lunch that went really well with the rest of the bottle of fruity wine used in the recipe
