  • 3 smoked mackerel fillets
  • 150g cream cheese
  • Zest and juice of one lemon
  • Bunch of Parsley
  • Sourdough bread

Method

  • STEP 1
    Make sure all the bones are removed from the mackerel

    Remove the skin from the mackerel

    Place two of the mackerel fillets into a food processor, breaking into smaller pieces as you do

    Pulse for around 20-30 seconds until you are left with a smooth pate
