Quick Smoked Mackerel Pâté
Ingredients
- 12 oz smoked mackerel fillets
- 1 lemon
- 5 oz low fat cream cheese
- 3 teaspoons prepared horseradish sauce
- Freshly ground black pepper
- accompaniments you may need these
- Smoked Mackerel Pâté
Instructions
- Skin and flake the mackerel, making sure that no bones remain.
- Squeeze the juice from half the lemon (reserve the other half to use as a garnish), add to all the other ingredients in the bowl of a food processor and whizz for 45 seconds.
- Alternatively, mix thoroughly together by hand, using a fork - this gives a more rough-textured pate.
- Check the seasoning and add more lemon juice, pepper or horseradish if necessary.
- Turn the mixture into a pretty glass bowl, fork up the top and lay paper-thin slices of lemon, cut from the reserved half, all over in an attractive pattern.
- Chill for several hours before serving.
