Smoked Mackerel Pate (Starter or Party food)

You can make this delicious pate with most smoked fish.   Or indeed with cooked salmon or tuna.   I like to use peppered mackerel for this recipe.  Gives it a kick, but you can use normal.

INGREDIENTS

150G smoked peppered mackerel
50g cream cheese (Philadelphia) 
30ml lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
1 tablespoon Olive oil

METHOD

Remove all skin from fish and place in food processor with cream cheese, lemon juice, & olive oil.

Blitz until smooth

Spoon into individual ramekins (4) or a large dish, sprinkle with cayenne and place covered in fridge for at least 2 hours to chill

Serve with homemade melba toasts or fresh crusty bread
