    Enjoyed this as a spread on crisp bread. Used low fat greek yogurt instead as that was all I had. Will be making again.

    I do a lot of cooking, but cannot eat dairy (except goat cheese) following E.Coli infection. It would be great to have ideas on making stuff like this which is lactose-free.....

    I used smoked peppered Mackerel instead of just smoked and added a bit of freshly squeezed lemon juice and extra pepper. Instead of soured cream I used half fat creme fresh. I served some on some rye crackers. Tomorrow I shall take it to work in a ciabatta with a green leaf salad.

    Definitely benefitted from a squeeze of lemon juice and swapped the soured cream with no fat Greek yoghurt. Then used it to fill toasted pita bread with plenty of watercress. Yummy.
