Ham Ribbons
250g cream cheese
1 tsp paprika
2 tsp horseradish
15 slices of square ham (about 750g) cut thicker than normal
Method: Beat cream cheese, add horseradish, paprika and season to taste. Spread cheese mixture over slices of ham, building them into sandwiches, using 5 slices of ham and 4 layers of cheese until you have 3 ham and cheese "sandwiches". Chill, cover with plastic wrap and keep flat. Refrigerate at least 24 hours. Before serving, trim all edges then cut into 4 strips each way, which will give 16 squares from each "sandwich".
