Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400°F.
• Cut off the beet greens, leaving 1/2 inch of the stems still attached. (You can save the leaves for sauteing later-they are delicious!) Clean the beets well, and toss them with 2 tablespoons olive oil and 1 teaspoon salt
• Place the beets in a roasting pan with a splash of water in the bottom. Cover the pan tightly with foil, and roast for about 40 minutes, until they're tender when pierced. (The roasting time will depend on the size and type of beet.) When the beets are done, carefully remove the foil. Let cool, and peel the beets by slipping off the skins with your fingers. Cut them into 1/2-inch-thick wedges.
• While the beets are in the oven, combine the diced shallot, both vinegars, 2 teaspoons lemon juice, and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a small bowl, and let sit 5 minutes. Whisk in the 1/2 cup olive oil. Taste for balance and seasoning.
• Whisk the crème fraîche and horseradish together in a small bowl. Stir in the heavy cream, remaining 1/2 teaspoon lemon juice, ⅛ teaspoon salt, and a pinch of pepper.
• Toss the beets and sliced shallots with the vinaigrette. (If you're using different-colored beets, dress each color in a separate bowl so the colors don't bleed.) Season with 1/4 teaspoon salt and a pinch of freshly ground black pepper, and toss well. Taste for balance and seasoning.

Steps:

• Combine trout, green onion, capers, lemon peel and pepper in medium bowl. Season with salt. Stir in egg, cream and 1/2 cup breadcrumbs to blend. Form mixture by 1/4 cupfuls into eight 1/2-inch-thick fish cakes.
• Place remaining 1/2 cup breadcrumbs in shallow dish. Roll fish cakes in breadcrumbs, coating completely. Heat 2 tablespoons oil in large skillet over medium heat. Working in batches and adding more oil as necessary, cook fish cakes until golden brown, about 3 minutes per side. Serve with Horseradish Cream.

Steps:

• Take an empty jam jar with a lid, put in a pinch of salt, a good grind of pepper, plus the mustard, olive oil and vinegar. Shake and place the jar in the fridge - use as you want, it will last a few weeks.
• Cut the beetroot into quarters and place in a bowl. Add in the creamed horseradish and 2 tbsp dressing, stir well. Remove the skin from the trout and break the fish into pieces about the size of a 50p. Mix together the watercress and the beetroot, then top with the smoked trout.

Steps:

• Put the cream cheese, horseradish, and lemon zest and juice in a bowl, and mix together until smooth. Season.
• Add the chopped dill and flake in the smoked trout, removing any bones or skin as you go. Stir well to combine and add more seasoning to taste. The pâté will keep in the fridge for up to 2 days. Serve garnished with dill fronds and sprinkled with cracked black pepper. Eat with rye bread and lettuce leaves.
