Provided by Jubes

Categories     Trout

Time 20m

Yield 10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 kg smoked trout (2 lb)
300 g butter, softened (may vary dependng on the weight of the fish flesh)
2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill
2 teaspoons lemon juice
3 drops Tabasco sauce or 3 drops chili sauce

Steps:

  • Remove the fish flesh from the skin and bones.
  • Weigh the flesh and allow for 1/2 the amount of butter.( I cut back about 1/3 on the butter).
  • Mash the trout flesh and beat in all remaining ingredients. Mix until well combined.
  • Spoon into a large serving dish or individual ramekins.
  • Fantastic spread into small tart cases.

Tips:

  • Choosing the right type of smoked trout is essential for a successful pate. Look for trout that is firm and has a mild, smoky flavor. Avoid trout that is too oily or has a strong, overpowering smoke flavor.
  • When preparing the trout, be sure to remove all of the bones. This will help to ensure that the pate has a smooth and creamy texture.
  • If you don't have a food processor, you can mash the trout and other ingredients together with a fork. However, using a food processor will give you a smoother and more consistent pate.
  • Serve the pate immediately or chill it for later. If you are chilling the pate, be sure to bring it to room temperature before serving.
  • Garnish the pate with fresh dill or other herbs before serving. This will add a pop of color and flavor to the dish.

Conclusion:

Smoked trout and dill pate is a delicious and versatile dish that is perfect for any occasion. It can be served as an appetizer, spread on sandwiches or crackers, or used as a filling for tartlets or vol-au-vents.
