Home Made Smoked Salmon Pate
Serves 6

Preparation time less than 30 mins
Cooking time no cooking required

Ingredients
255g/9oz smoked salmon
110g/4oz cream cheese
2 tbsp double cream
½ lemon, juice only
2 tbsp chopped chives (plus some extra chives to sprinkle over the top)
pinch of sugar
salt and freshly ground pepper


Method
1. Pop all the ingredients into a blender and pulse until it has a consistency that you desire. For serving as a starter with salad and oatcakes or Melba toast I like the pâté to be a little rough but for canapés I prefer a smoother version.
2. Plenty of pepper is good but go easy on the salt, as the smoked salmon will be salty already. Occasionally I would substitute the lemon and chives for lime and coriander.
