Ingredients
1
kipper
small
handful
rocket leaves
40
g
cream cheese
1
tsp
dried seaweed
optional. I used Maraseaweed kombu although dried herbs will also work well.
1-2
tbsp
lemon juice
add gradually to taste.
Instructions
Soften the kipper by soaking in boiling water for approximately 10 minutes. Drain and allow to cool.
Remove the head, skin and fillet the herring and add the flesh along with the remaining ingredients to a food processor.
Process until the pate is smooth and check before adding any further seasoning. The kipper and the seaweed usually add sufficient seasoning.
Pack into a ramekin and chill in the refrigerator for 1-2 hours.
Serve with crusty bread or oatcakes
