...fancy a fish alternative?
If you're not a lover of fish but recognise that it should be part of your diet then disguise it!
Here's a different way of getting those Omega 3 oils :
Smoked Mackerel Paté
250g smoked mackerel
250g quark (it's a soft cheese made from skimmed milk – not nice on its own but great as a low fat product for a 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, chopped onion, chopped capers.
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!
Very healthy – very virtuous – but more to the point very versatile and moreish.
Three perfect, easy peasy patés for you to choose – or may be all three?!
