Background

Don't buy smoked mackerel paste in the supermarket - it's so easy to make your own. And it's so much cheaper and tastier! Within 5 minutes you can whiz up a delicious spread or dip. This zingy mackerel paté has a lovely edge to it because I’ve used freshly grated horseradish (if you can't get one - just use shop-bought horseradish sauce). Add more yogurt to create a dip, instead of a spread. Both versions are perfect for parties (as a spread on oatcakes or as a topping on nibbles); for picnics (with some bread sticks or crudités); or as sandwich filler paté. Also, this spread is very healthy, so it’s ideal for the health-conscious or those who are on a diet.

Ingredients

1 smoked mackerel
Zest and juice of ½ lemon
3 Tbsp Greek yoghurt, crème fraîche or Skyr
Sea salt & Ground pepper
About 2 tsp grated horseradish

Instructions

Remove the skin of mackerel and flake the flesh into a small food processor.
Add the remaining ingredients and whiz, until you get a smooth paste.
Taste and adjust the seasoning to your liking. Add more horseradish, if it’s not sharp enough.
Transfer to a small bowl and keep it chilled until serving.
