Recipe tips

There are a lot of different types of rye bread available, but always look for wholegrain.
If you find the flavour a little strong, try a loaf made with sunflower or pumpkin seeds, instead.
'At risk' groups such as infants, children, pregnant women, the elderly and those who are unwell should avoid eating ready-to-eat, cold-smoked or cured fish. Therefore, this recipe is not suitable if this applies to you.
