used this recipe for years – it's fast, delicious and perfect for
working week lunches.

Smoked
Mackerel Paté
250g
smoked mackerel
250g
plain quark (it's a soft cheese made from skimmed milk –
not
nice on its own but great as a low fat product for healthy pate!)
Glug
of lemon juice
Black
pepper
Two
tsps of creamed horseradish
Remove
the skin from the mackerel, flake it and pop into your food
processor. Add the quark and blitz with the mackerel, then add the
lemon juice, black pepper and horseradish, blitz again. You can
gauge the consistency of the paté to your personal taste.
You
can then add, for example, finely chopped red onion, chopped capers,
sliced black olives – whatever is your fancy.
Serve
with anything you like, toasted bread, rice cakes or add to warmed
pitta slit, with salad. Add to cooked pasta, hot or cold – perfect
for lunch on the run!
If you
can't get hold of quark you can use cottage cheese - low fat of
course!
If you've
not come across Quark
before it's an excellent low fat soft cheese suitable for
vegetarians. News just in … Alpro now produce
vegan quark so everyone
is happy!
Now it's time for my pending tray …
