Home made smoked mackerel pate

 

 

I love mackerel and lately, I have been buying this in a tub from Tesco’s. Mackerel is full of omega 3 and really good for you. Over Christmas I am going to try and make my own, it looks easy. I love this with wholewheat or garlic pitta bread cut up into strips and dipped in, it goes really well with red wine :)    

Smoked Mackerel Pâté 

Preparation Time: 10 minutes

Ingredients: Serves 4
250g ready to use smoked mackerel
150ml sour cream
2 teaspoons of fresh chopped coriander
2 teaspoons of fresh parsley
Half a hot green pepper finely chopped (without seeds)
1 large garlic clove finely chopped
Fresh ground pepper and sea salt to taste
1 teaspoon of fresh lemon juice

Cooking Instructions:

1. Simply flake the Mackerel into small pieces in a mixing bowl with a fork or your hands.

2. Mix with the remaining ingredients, the mixture will be soft but will firm up if kept somewhere cool for a short while.

3. Serve with bread, toast or crisp bread
