RECIPE TIPS

TIP

Quark is a low-fat, low-salt, soft cheese. You could also use light soft cheese or half-fat crème fraîche.

TIP

Trout is a fabulous fish. It has a lovely, delicate flavour and, while an excellent source of those all-important omega-3 oils, contains just a third of the calories of salmon.

I couldn’t get quark so used a mix of cream cheese & creme fraiche. Also don’t be afraid to use plenty of black pepper. Yummy!

I made this with a horseradish paste instead of a 'sauce' which meant the consistency was much thicker. I also made it as a sandwich with two slices of bread instead of open. Perfect for lunch at work. Yum.

Sorry we didn't read the 'tip' above re: quark... silly us. Will now try this for a Saturday brunch. Many thanks!

What is quark? Thought that was in quantum mechanics... nutinos, neutrons, electrons and quarks... or Lewis Carrol! Please let us know the what and where to buy and we will definitely try it out... as we do with a majority of Good Food Recipes. Thanks.
