Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 7

100g cottage cheese
1 tbsp creamed horseradish
50ml soured cream
3 smoked mackerel fillets
small handful chives , chopped
juice ½ lemon , plus lemon halves, to serve
12 large white or red chicory leaves

Steps:

  • Mix together the cottage cheese, horseradish and soured cream, and leave to sit for 10 mins.
  • Remove skin and any bones from the mackerel, break into thumb-sized pieces and pop into a food processor. Pulse briefly to break up the chunks; it shouldn't be too fine. Turn out into a large bowl.
  • Mix the chives into the mackerel evenly, then fold in the cream mixture and lemon juice. Chill in the fridge for 20 mins.
  • To serve, spoon some mackerel mix into each chicory leaf. Arrange on a large plate with lemon halves and serve with some drinks.
