A super simple recipe with just three ingridients. This smoked mackerel pate is great as a bread spread or served as a starter piped onto cucumber slices.
In a bowl combine the lemon juice and crème cheese. (1 teaspoon horseradish optional) Stir well. Now flake in the smoked mackerel. At this stage, if you prefer a smooth paste, you can puree the mixture. For a coarser texture just flake bigger chunks with a fork.
2 tablespoon lemon juice, 200 g cream cheese
Add 2 teaspoon of chives and season with salt and pepper.
3 teaspoon freshly chopped chives
Add 2 tablespoon of chives and season with salt and pepper.
Before serving sprinkle the remaining teaspoon chives on top.
Serve with bread, pastry or crackers. For an appetizer serve with cucumber, blinis or pumpernickel.
