Pickled Cucumber With Whipped Goat's Cheese, Confit Tomatoes And Basil
  1. Begin by preheating the oven to 130°C.

  7. To make the whipped goat’s cheese, add the diced cheese to a food processor along with the cream cheese, garlic and lemon zest.

  8. Whip for a couple of minutes until smooth, then season with salt.

  9. To serve, spread the whipped goat’s cheese over a plate, then top with the pickled cucumber ribbons, confit tomatoes, broccoli sprouts, capers, dill and poppy seeds.
