5-minute DIY trout pâté
“This is a modern version of Phillippa Cheifitz’s snoek pâté recipe, which my mom used to make when I was growing up. This summer I’ll be making it using Woolies’ outrageously good hot-smoked trout instead of snoek. Top it with a trout caviar – for special people – and you have the perfect pâté for canapés.”- Hannah Lewry
Ingredients
Method- 180 g Woolworths hot-smoked trout with pepper and mustard seeds
- ¼ cup thick mayonnaise
- ¼ cup crème fraîche
- 1 T lemon juice
- freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 8 radishes, thinly sliced
- 2 t olive oil
- sea salt, to taste
- Woolworths trout caviar, to garnish (optional)
Method
Ingredients1 Flake the fish, then mash with the mayonnaise and crème fraîche. Add the lemon juice and black pepper. Mix well, then pack into a small serving dish and chill well.
2 To make the radish crisps, slice the radishes very thinly, ideally using a mandolin. Toss with the olive oil and sea salt, then air-fry in batches at 200°C for 5–10 minutes, or until crispy. Serve with the pâté.
Cook's note: If you don’t have radishes, use thinly sliced beetroot to make the crisps. Butternut is also a great alternative.
