How to Cook Ploughman's Lunch
- On 4 large plates, arrange the ingredients in an eye-catching and appetising manner. You can vary what you serve but I strongly recommend as a minimum a good, firm cheese plus a thick slice of pâté or ham along with pickles (relish), crusty bread and butter. You can substitute spring onions (a.k.a. scallions or salad onions) instead of pickled onions if you prefer, but the basis is to mix the sweetness of cheese with the slightly acidic pickles or relishes.

For the pâté, why not make your own with our easy Pâté de Canard ~ Duck Pâté recipe?
GRAHAM'S WINE RECOMMENDATION:
A Nebbiolo grape like Barolo and Barbaresco. wines from Northern Italy. A young Barbaresco goes perfectly with a cold meat platter such as this one, while Barolo wines are at their best with richer dishes like braised beef.
