Serves 10

Ingredients

  • 1 small, thin baguette
  • Olive or rapeseed oil
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • Good handful of oak shavings
  • About 250g strawberries, hulled
  • About 250g soft, mild goat’s cheese

Method: How to make Tim's hot-smoked strawberry and goat's curd crostini

1. To make the crostini, slice the baguette thinly. Spread the slices out on a baking sheet, brush lightly with a little olive or rapeseed oil, scatter with salt and pepper, then bake at 200°C/gas 6 for 10 minutes or until golden and crisp.

2. Put the oak shavings in a saucepan. Place on the stove on a medium heat with a lid on. When the shavings start to smoke, put the strawberries in a sieve and put them over the oak shavings. Cover with the lid and scrunch over a layer of tin foil too, to seal in the smoke. Smoke the strawberries for 3 minutes or until they have taken on a smoky flavour.

3. Pile the berries onto the crostini. Add a little crumbled goat's cheese, finish with a little more oil, salt and pepper and serve.
