Haddington Farmers’ Market provides a wide range of seasonal ingredients. Have you tried barbeque salmon or trout, delicious when marinated? Belhaven Smokehouse, not only sell the produce but the special BBQ fish holders.

Kebabs are another summer favourite and you can use beef, pork, lamb, venison, wild boar, and ostrich.

Bulgar Wheat Stuffed Tomatoes

(Serves 4 people)

Sauteed Strawberries with Balsamic Vinegar.

(Serves 4 people)

Wild Boar with Bouvrage

(Serves 4 people)

1/2 kg Wild Boar meat, (diced shoulder or similar) marinade: 250ml BOUVRAGE (raspberry or blaeberry), 2 tbsp balsamic vinegar 2 crushed garlic cloves, 1 tsp ground cumin, salt, ground black pepper. Combine the above ingredients and marinade the meat overnight. Drain the meat, reserving the liquid. Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in ovenproof casserole and sear the meat, adding vegetables to taste (onions and carrots are good with this) and a little flour. Add the reserved liquid gently, stirring well to avoid lumps. Bring to the boil, cover and transfer to a simmering heat oven for at least 1 and a 1/2 hours - remember wild boar is matured very slowly and must be cooked very slowly. Adjust seasoning and enjoy.
Also good with pork, lamb or venison.
