Smoked Mackerel Pâté
Peppered smoked mackerel adds a different twist
Flaked fish and yoghurt
Use a decent horseradish sauce, even better make your own
Mix well before chilling
Finished smoked mackerel pate with a twist of lemon
Ingredients
- 8oz smoked mackerel
- 5oz greek yoghurt
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 3 tsp horseradish sauce
- 2 tsp chopped parsley
- Black pepper to taste
This is a lovely fresh pâté and very easy to make. It's made a bit more interesting by the horseradish sauce - buy the best quality you can afford, or even better make your own. This makes enough to serve about 6 people.
Instructions
-
Remove the skin and bones from fish and flake.
-
Add all the other ingredients and mix until well blended.
-
Spoon into ramekins, cover with cling film and chill until required.
Eat smothered on hot toast.

Made the Pate, thought I would surprise my wife with it, surprised her alright, I put 3 tablespoons of Horseradish (and a bit for luck) instead of 3 teaspoons but it still tastes ok, going to try again this weekend, under supervision of course!!
Dan
LOL, that would certainly have a kick!
I made venison liver pâté last week, will add the recipe to the site over the weekend in case you fancy something a bit meatier.
