Smoked mackerel pate is a family favourite, it is great for a light lunch or as a starter.  My mother in law, Jean has a fantastic recipe in her cook book Grandma’s Spoon which she is kindly letting me use here. The recipe serves 4.

 

Ingredients

2 large peppered smoked mackerel fillets

2 tbs Greek yoghurt

squeeze of lemon to taste

1 tsp creamed horseradish

Method

1. Skin the mackerel fillets
2. Put in food processor with the remaining ingredients
3. Whizz until smooth, then add more lemon and/ or yoghurt until smooth but firm.  Be careful not to add too much you don’t want it to go sloppy.
4. Serve with hot pitta bread
