Method

  1. Gently mix the mackerel flakes with the crème fraîche, lemon juice, half the herbs and some pepper (but no salt - smoked mackerel is salty enough). Chill until ready to serve.
  2. Spoon a generous amount of the mixture into each leaf, then arrange on plates. Sprinkle each 'scoop' with the remaining fresh herbs and a pinch of the lemon zest, then serve.

    Really tasty and easy. Got daughter Amy to do it all in food processor (no cuts or lost fingers and a smoother paste) then serve it up proudly to her Dad. We left out the chives but still tasted great.
