Good to know

Roast beef and horseradish are a classic from the cold buffet. Rolled up with rocket, they become bites that don't need any bread. Freshly grated horseradish is hotter than the jarred kind, so add it to taste.

Swaps

Roast beef → bresaola (stronger flavour; not in pregnancy). Cream cheese → soft goat's cheese. Rocket → lamb's lettuce. Horseradish → 1 tsp Dijon mustard.

Cooking tips

Ask for the roast beef to be sliced wafer-thin at the deli counter, then it rolls without breaking. Only spread the slices just before rolling, or the rocket will go limp.
