Splendid SMOKED MACKEREL and CHIVE Pâté

THE RECIPE

Generally pâté is considered to be made of liver, pork, game or other meats. However, as with this recipe, fish can also be used as the basis of a pâté. This couldn't be easier to make and is delicious simply spread on warm toast or crusty bread. So go ahead and give it a try!


INGREDIENTS:

250g Smoked mackerel, skin and bones removed, flaked
200g Soft cheese
1 Lemon, zested and juiced
2 tbsp Chives, snipped                      
2 tbsp Horseradish sauce


METHOD:

Put the smoked mackerel, cheese, lemon zest and juice in a food processor and blend until smooth. Stir in the chives and horseradish sauce. Chill until ready to serve.


TO SERVE:

Spread on warm toast, crusty bread or crackers. Alternatively, as edible serving vessels for the pâté, use individual chicory or baby gem lettuce leaves. Just spoon in a neat quenelle of pâté onto the cut end of each leaf. Enjoy......
