Ingredients
 

  • 200 grams Smoked Mackerel
  • 2 tablespoon Greek Yogurt
  • 1 teaspoon Creamed Horseradish

  • Remove the skin from 200 g smoked mackerel.

Notes

Cream Cheese
Use 50 g  cream cheese or Creme Fraiche instead of Greek Yogurt for a richer pate 
Horseradish
If you don't like horseradish or don't have any, then you can leave it out completely or substitute a tsp of Dijon Mustard. 
Wild Garlic Variation
Add a large handful of roughly chopped wild garlic leaves to the food processor and process with the rest of the ingredients.
