Not much of a recipe but it’s worth having because it taste’s good, uses only three ingredients, takes 10 minutes to make and people are always impressed.
I used to have to make this regularly when the woman I nannied for had friends over for lunch, that was 30 years ago when I was pretty much still a kid myself!
It always went down very well, someone always asked for the recipe and I was told before every lunch not to tell anyone.
I think it’s because it’s robust punchy flavour makes it seem far more involved than it is and she didn’t want her friends to stop being impressed by it
Peppered Mackerel Paté
Ingredients
1 pack of Smoked Peppered Mackerel (in the UK thats about 200grams/7oz).
1 Pack of cream cheese (the vegan one used here is 200grams/7oz).
1 Lemon (for 1-2tbsp of lemon juice).
Method
Remove the skin from the mackerel and flake it.
Put it in a food processor with the cream cheese and the lemon juice (I find 1 1/2 tbsp about right).
Blend until smooth.
No need to add extra seasoning, the peppered mackerel has plenty.
Best served cold with plain crackers.
