Smoked mackerel paté is a very popular spread so there are hundreds of recipes. This is a classic version that's made with horseradish. It's perfect on party nibbles decorated with pickled beetroot or cucumber or as a snack with afternoon tea or a spread at a picnic. You can serve it on crusty rolls, crostini, toast, sour rye bread etc

Ingredients

200g smoked mackerel fillets
150g cream cheese
150g crème fraîche
juice of half a lemon
Salt & pepper
2 tsp grated horseradish
Small handful of chives (finely chopped)

Instructions

Skin the mackerel. Check the fish for small bones. Flake the flesh into a food processor and add the cheese, crème fraîche and horseradish. Whizz for 30 seconds or so, until you get a smooth paste.
Season to taste, stir in some lemon juice. Taste and adjust the seasoning, lemon juice and horseradish combo.
Fold in the chives.
Serve chilled or at room temperature.

Tips

Instead of chive you can use other herbs too - dill is perfect for this recipe.
If you don't like horseradish just omit it. If you don't have grated horseradish, use horseradish sauce and less crème fraîche.
