Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams smoked trout fillets
- 150 grams cream cheese
- 50 grams sour cream
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon horseradish sauce
- 1 tablespoon dill (fresh, chopped)
- 1 tablespoon chives (fresh, chopped)
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon capers (optional, drained)
Instructions
Begin by ensuring all your ingredients are at room temperature to facilitate smooth blending.
Remove any skin and bones from the smoked trout fillets and break them into smaller pieces.
In a food processor, combine the smoked trout pieces, cream cheese, sour cream, lemon juice, and horseradish sauce.
Blend until the mixture is smooth but still retains a bit of texture. Scrape down the sides of the food processor as needed.
Add the chopped dill, chopped chives, black pepper, and salt. Pulse briefly to combine. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
If desired, stir in the capers to add a briny burst of flavor.
Transfer the pâté to a bowl or serving dish and cover with plastic wrap. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Serve the smoked trout pâté with crackers, toasted bread, or vegetable crudités. Garnish with extra dill or chives if desired.
