Smoked Mackerel Pate Recipe

Smoked Mackerel Pate

From vertangie 16 years ago

A slightly hot pate loaded with good for you oily fish but doesn't taste particularly fishy for those who aren't that fond of it.

3 smoked mackerel fillets (coated in lemon and parsely if available, otherwise add parsley to mix) shopping list
100 grams low fat cream cheese shopping list
juice from 1 a lemon shopping list
1 or 2 tablespoons horseradish sauce shopping list
black pepper shopping list
melted butter (optional) shopping list

Peel the mackerel fillets break the flesh into chunks
Place all ingredients (except butter and half of the lemon) into a blender
Blend until smooth, doesn't take long.
Spoon into a dish or individual dishes if serving as a starter,
Make sure there are no air gaps in the mixture as this makes it go off faster.
For a nice finishing touch:
Pour a little lemon onto the top of the pate in the dish.
Place a little chopped parsley or chives in the center
Pour just enough melted butter over the top to cover the pate and create a seal.
This is a traditional way of keeping pate fresh for longer before the days of plastic

Delicious.....I smoke my own fish from the mess of fish the daughter's boyfriend shares with us. I love smoked fish spread and this is a great version.
