Samphire's Mackerel Pate

Having friends over for dinner or just enjoying a nice afternoon in the garden? Mackerel Pate is the super simple delicious company for you nice chilled Chablis!

We have just had some amazing fresh mackerel arrive at the door so we decided to do something a little different to a pan fried fillet, check it out........Samphire's Mackerel Pate:

Things you will need..........

• Mackerel Fillets (cooked, just bake them with a bit of seasoning and oil) or some smoked mackerel for the supermarket
• Cream Cheese
• Spring Onions
• Red Peppers
• Fresh Herbs......Dill, Basil, Parsley etc

You can add anything you like, crunchy is good as it adds some texture but try to avoid strong flavours like garlic, chilli and onion as after a few days this will be powerful!!!!

• If you are after a nice smooth pate texture, run your cooked mackerel through a food processor, if you like it rustic, just bash it up with a fork or wooden spoon.
• Add all the ingredients you like and stir it up a bit making sure there are no large clumps through it
• Grab yourself a nice fresh loaf, cut it up chunky or flatbreads are amazing!
• Get some nice crunchy salad, lightly dress
• Put everything on a big wooden chopping board and you are ready to munch!!
