56 Clitheroe Advertiser & Times, April 29th, 2004 DISH O E WF TH EiSC LAMB papr ika sh


WITH spring here at last it is time to say goodbye to those winter warming dinners of steak arid kidney pie, sausage - and mash, beef stew and wholesome soups. Now we can look forward to some warmer


weather and more daylight hours as spring arrives with daffodils, cherry blossom and those magnificent magnolia trees now ready to burst into full flower. When i t comes time to cast off winter


clothes, many of us want to lose a few of those extra pounds which have crept on over the winter so lighter.meals become popular. Here is a fairly light dish and perhaps start


your meal with a smoked salmon bundle. Place a long piece of smoked salmon on a


board and season with a little black pepper, v Mix a tub of creme fraiche with some lime juice, season. Make small bunches of rocket..


;■ Put spoonful of creme fraiche, topped with a bunch of rocket on the salmon and roll up. Chill in the fridge until needed. Follow this


with the Lamb Paprikash: Ingredients (serves four)

utes. Remove half the onions and set aside. Add the garlic and paprika and cook for 30 seconds. Add the tomato puree and tomatoes, stock

IS is not often that I find a rose of quality and worth a mention, but the weekend's good weather turned my attentions to something different and I chose a rose to go with some crudities as


an aperitif. CHATEAU de SOURS


ROSE 2003 comes from that very hot summer of last year, the hottest on record since 1893. The chateau is situated


high up on a limestone plateau between Liboume and Pomerol in Bordeaux and has the typical soil mixture of gravel and clay on a limestone base. Vines were first planted here in 1792 on completion of the building of the chateau. With more than 30 hectares of vines, the chateau makes a tradition­ al red and white Bordeaux and this very fashionable rose.


Because of the climatic


conditions last year, the harvest was down by around 30%, the remaining berries had thick skins and very high concentration of both sugar levels - with potential to yield a rose with 15% abv - and fruit extract. The Merlot grapes were


selected for this wine and only the first free run juices were used. After leaving the


with wine writer. 'Mike Murdoch


grapes and juice together for 24 hours, to extract both colour and flavour, the wine underwent a slow, long cool fermentation of between eight to 10 weeks. This is an intensely-coloured rose, bordering on light garnet with a hint of purple with an explosion of fruit on the nose - hints of redcurrants and plums. The palate is supple and structured with the fruit dominating, in creamy rich concentrated berry flavours. The chateau owner is


Esme Johnstone, co­ founder of Majestic Wine Warehouse, so it is not sur­ prising that they stock this wine along with Tanners of Shrewsbury and the Lon­ don wine merchants to the Queen, Comey and Barrow, priced between £7.49 to £7.99.

The curlews are back in Rowland LIMEHOUSE LIZZY


S iturd.i\ 22nd M i\ -H OOpm^ .. v B.ick 1» popiil.ii demand’.


THE curlews are back in Bowland, heralding the beginning of spring. To many people, the curlew's bubbling,


liquid song, travelling across the fields and moors, represents the sound of Bow- land. At this time of year, thousands of curlews arrive back in the area to breed, having spent the winter feeding on the estuaries and lowlands. They breed on farmland and moorland and need wet, boggy areas, which teem with the insects and bugs they eat. Curlews use their long, curved bills to probe the mud in search of food. The Forest of Bowland Area of Out­


standing Natural Beauty is an extremely important area for curlews, holding approximately 2% of the entire Euro­ pean population of the bird. The boggy fields and moors of the area provide per­ fect conditions for successful breeding. Curlews nest on the ground in open


fields and moors. The male prepares sev­ eral nest scrapes and the house-proud female selects one and lines it before lay­ ing her eggs. Eggs hatch in May after being incubated by both parents. The downy chicks are independent, able to feed themselves and walk to good feeding areas. Lucy Barron, RSPB Birds of Bowland


project officer, said: "The RSPB is work­ ing with farmers and landowners throughout the area to help protect curlews and their habitats. Curlews are really special birds, and without them and their evocative call places such as Bowland just wouldn't be the same." You can discover more about the birds


and wildlife of the Forest of Bowland by ta k in g part in a series of events through­ out the spring and summer. People will be able to look for the spe­ cial birds of the moors on a moorland


safari in the Trough of Bowland, led by experts from RSPB, United Utilities and English Nature. Walks take place on Saturdays and


Wednesdays from May 1st. For more information and to book a place, contact the RSPB's Anna Sugrue on 01484 • 861148 or by email via anna.sugure@rspb.org.uk Or you can discover the secrets of the


beautiful Forest of Bowland a t this year's Bowland Festival. The event cele­ brates the birds, wildlife, landscape and rural life of the Forest of Bowland Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty through a series of events from June 10th to 15th. Booking is essential for most events. The RSPB Birds of Bowland project is


run by the RSPB in partnership with United Utilities, Heritage Lottery Fund, Ribble Valley Borough Council, English Nature and Lancashire Rural Futures.
