Bet on quality smoked fish
The basis is a quality smoked fish. It can be a mackerel, trout or even salmon. It is important that it is well cleaned of skin and bones. Mix the meat with a fork or mix briefly, but just so that it does not lose the structure. Then there will be fine accessories – butter, a teaspoon of mustard, freshly grated horseradish and an apple. This is the key to the freshness that ordinary pates lack. The sweetness of the fruit balances the smoke taste of the fish and everything is beautifully connected.
“Smoked mackerel tastes great only, with a piece of good pastry, or you can engage your imagination and use it in imaginative spreads, salads or pasta,” says blogger cooking with Šůša.
If you have lemon at hand, squeeze a few drops of juice to the mixture, add a little salt and pepper. Mix everything thoroughly, store in the refrigerator for a while and allow to rest. The taste still develops, and the pate gets fineness.
An ideal side dish is crunchy fresh bread
Serve it with homemade sourdough bread, sprinkle with chopped chives or dill, and you have a finished spring delicacy that looks simply, but tastes like a small bistro somewhere by the sea.
This pate is also great for trips. When you transfer it to small glasses and take it with a few slices of bread, you will be happy to yourself and others. Slightly sweet, gently spicy, with the smell of smoked fish – and yet so simple.
