If there's one thing you need to make this weekend it is this! The most beautiful smoked salmon pate that rivals even the most expensive versions but made for under £1. Genius. I can guarentee in 30 minutes time we'll be sitting on our patio with the neighbours munching away on a freshly made batch and a glass of pink champagne. Ahh Fridays.
The secret here is plenty of seasoning and using salmon trimmings. Sainsburys do a pack for 88p and that will last you portion after portion of pate.
Smoked Salmon Pate
255g/9oz smoked salmon
110g/4oz cream cheese
2 tbsp double cream
½ lemon, juice only
2 tbsp chopped fresh chives (plus some extra chives to sprinkle over the top)
pinch of sugar
salt and freshly ground pepper
Put everything in a food processor/blender and pulse until the consistency you like - I like mine creamy but with rough pieces of salmon in to avoid sloppy pate.
I keep mine in an airtight jar in the fridge and it keeps at least ten days. But I'd recommend eat the sooner the better.
