Smoked Mackerel Pate

Oh me oh my, you make me cry, you're such a good looking lunch!

I love a lunch that sings to my senses and ticks a number of boxes at once. This is one of them; healthy fats from smoked mackerel pate, good bacteria boost from homemade sauerkraut, curry salad dressing made with kefir and organic leaves from McNally Farm. 

Smoked mackerel is available from all supermarkets, and is less than €1.50 per packet from the likes of Lidl and Aldi. This recipe is super quick and easy. I've used Dijon mustard instead of the traditional horseradish sauce, as we're more mustard type people. But you can use either. Gorgeous on crackers or sourdough toast, with some sliced avocado.

For the pate, just mash together;

1 fillet smoked mackerel (take the skin off!)

1 spring onion (chopped)

1 tbsp Greek yogurt

1/2-1 tsp Dijon mustard

1 tbsp lemon juice

Sprinkling of black pepper
