Instructions

1.
Hard‑boil eggs in boiling water for 9 minutes. Drain, shock with cold water and peel. Let cool slightly then finely chop.

2.
Squeeze half a lemon. In a bowl whisk cream cheese with salt, pepper, 1 tbsp lemon juice and Worcestershire sauce until smooth.

3.
Trim and wash spring onions, dice finely. Quarter bell peppers, remove seeds, wash and dice finely.
-
4.
Wash dill, shake dry, pluck off leaves and finely chop. Mix eggs, spring onions, pepper cubes and dill into the cheese mixture.
-
5.
Wash cucumber, trim and slice lengthwise into thin strips using a vegetable peeler or slicer.
-
6.
Lay a ~30x40 cm sheet of cling film on a work surface and arrange smoked salmon over it so the film is almost fully covered.
-
7.
Place cucumber slices perpendicular to the short side of the film in a brick‑like pattern atop the salmon. Pat cucumber slices with paper towels.
-
8.
Spoon the cream cheese mixture into a piping bag and pipe along the lower edge of each cucumber slice.
-
9.
Roll tightly using the cling film, then chill for 1 hour.

Just before serving cut the rolls in 2 cm wide pieces while still wrapped. Unwrap onto a plate and garnish with extra cucumber slices and dill as desired.
