Mackerel pate recipe
Following on from jeral who is looking for salmon mousse recipes, may I recommend my mackerel pate version?
Take a pack of smoked mackerel with pepper, plonk in the food processor with some cream cheese, a dollop of horseradish sauce and some dill. Whizz up. Eat with sourdough toast. Punches above its weight.

Re: Mackerel pate recipe
It does indeed , I like to add a good squeeze of lemon and some snipped chives to the same combination.
Re: Mackerel pate recipe
I do one very similar and sometimes use a squeeze of lime instead of lemon. And I sometimes use garlic and herb cream cheese instead of plain. I love smoked mackerel pate and much prefer the texture to that of a mousse.

Good one to have in reserve Binky. Pampy, I alternate between lemon and lime for things depending on mood.
I was hoping to experiment more with fresh mackerel last year but since I scarcely went out the chances of getting to the fishmonger on a day when he had some was infinitesimally small. High hopes for this year...

Re: Mackerel pate recipe
I always use Delia's recipe, it's a useful and easy thing to take to pot luck suppers with a few oatcakes. Very similar to those already mentioned but she uses ricotta. I've used smoked trout sometimes. I don't bother with the capers because a lot of people don't like them (I do!).

Re: Mackerel pate recipe
I make it in a similar way, always using the peppered smoked mackerel and I also add capers.
Actually, I use it as more of a dip now, I particularly like using Finn crisp crackers as scoops.

Smoked mackerel, helmans, herbs does for us, though sometimes I go wild and add tomato ketchup! Recently, to save on the washing up just mash with a fork. Mackerel paste on toast.

EM, I like the Delia recipe too.
