Instructions

  1. Take the cheese and cold cuts out of the fridge about 20 minutes before serving so they develop their flavour.
  2. Slice the country bread thickly and lightly butter it.
  3. Cut the cold cuts into thin slices and break the cheese into pieces by hand.
  4. Wash the radishes, cut them into rounds or wedges, and thinly slice the red onion.
  5. Arrange everything on a wooden board, keeping each type of product separate.
  6. Add the mustard, horseradish, gherkins and a pinch of caraway and pepper alongside the cold cuts.
  7. Serve straight away with the bread and a glass of chilled white wine or beer.

Variations and tips

Vegetarian version. Replace the cold cuts with slices of smoked tofu and add extra goat's cheese.
