Jamie Oliver Mackerel Pâté is a creamy spread made by blending smoked mackerel with cream cheese, lemon juice, and simple seasonings. It’s smooth, rich, and ideal as a starter, dip, or sandwich filling.

Ingredients

Scale

    • 200g smoked mackerel fillets, skin removed

    • 150g cream cheese

    • Juice of 1 lemon

    • 1 teaspoon horseradish (optional)

    • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley

    • Salt and black pepper

    • Olive oil (optional for richness)

Instructions

1. Prepare the Mackerel Base

Flake the smoked mackerel into a bowl, removing any skin or small bones. Breaking it into smaller pieces makes blending easier and ensures a smooth consistency.

2. Add Cream Cheese and Lemon

Add the cream cheese and squeeze in fresh lemon juice. The lemon brightens the richness of the fish and balances the smoky flavour.

3. Blend Until Smooth and Creamy

Use a food processor or hand blender to mix everything into a smooth pâté. Adjust the texture—blend longer for silky smoothness or pulse lightly for a rustic, chunky finish.

4. Season and Add Optional Extras

Stir in parsley, salt, and pepper. Add horseradish if you prefer a sharper, spicy edge, or a splash of olive oil for extra richness.

5. Chill and Serve

Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to let the flavours meld. Serve with crusty bread, crackers, toast points, or fresh vegetable sticks.
