A heatwave has hit London…hooray. So it’s time for some summery food. Today I was inspired to make some biltong blinis using the beautifully juicy English strawberries that are around at the moment.
I cheated and bought ready-made canapé blinis (why wouldn’t you!) from Sainsbury’s. Then all it takes is a little slicing and some assembling and you’ve got creamy, sweet and savoury bite-sized snacks. My guests loved them!
Makes 24
24 mini blinis
1 small carton of mascarpone
12 strawberries, destalked and sliced in half
24 small slices of biltong
24 mint leaves
Spread the blinis with mascarpone.
Top with a mint leaf, then a slice of biltong and then half a strawberry.
Serve immediately.
I got my biltong from The Chichester Biltong Company. To order from a wide range of delicious flavours including habanero, garlic, barbecue, peri peri and of course classic steak, visit Chichester Biltong Company.
