Mackerel Pate
A refreshing, creamy and light topping to fresh bread for the perfect summer snack or starter.
You'll need the following ingredients
- 1 packet of smoked mackerel
- 1 tub of cream cheese
- 4 spring onions - chopped
- ½ lemon - juiced
- Cracked black pepper
Here's what to do
-
This pate is great to make up and leave in the fridge for snacking on later in the week. I even heat it up and put it on pasta which the kids love.
-
Flake the mackerel into a bowl, making sure you get as many of the small bones out as you can.
-
Spoon in the cream cheese and add the lemon juice and spring onions
-
Mix it all together until it blends well and then add the pepper to taste
-
Best chilled in the fridge.
Optional extras
- Sprinkle some capers on top for extra seaside flavour
- Eat on a torn off piece of baguette, crusty loaf or a roll
