This is basically a cheese pâté made from Roquefort, a classic French cheese and blended Whisky. It celebrates the traditional alliance between Scotland and France.

Ingredients:

350g Roquefort cheese
Whisky, to taste
freshly-ground black pepper, to taste

Method:

Add the cheese to a pestle and mortar or a large bowl and pound to a smooth paste. Now add the whisky drop by drop and stir into the creamed cheese. Continue adding whisky for as long as it is still incorporated into a cheese and makes a firm cream.

Season to taste and pack into ramekins. Chill well before serving and serve either as an unusual pâté for a starter or as a savoury dish to end a meal. Serve with toast or oatcakes.
