Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams smoked trout fillets
- 120 grams Greek yogurt
- 60 grams cream cheese
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon capers
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill
- 2 tablespoons fresh chives
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 1 unit garlic clove
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Begin by flaking the smoked trout fillets into small pieces, ensuring that any bones are removed.
In a large mixing bowl, add the Greek yogurt and cream cheese. Using a hand mixer or whisk, blend until smooth and creamy.
Stir in the lemon juice, capers, chopped dill, and chives. The fresh herbs should be finely chopped for better distribution of flavors.
Mince the garlic clove finely and add it to the mixture along with the extra virgin olive oil.
Season the dip with black pepper to taste, adjusting more if desired.
Gently fold the flaked smoked trout into the creamy mixture, making sure it's evenly incorporated but not overly mixed to retain some texture.
Transfer the dip to a serving bowl, cover, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
Garnish with additional dill or chives if desired and serve with whole grain crackers, sliced baguette, or fresh vegetable sticks.
