Smoked Snoek Pâté in Appetiser Recipes on eJozi's RecipeBook

Pâté is simply a mixture of seasoned ground seafood, meat or vegetables, and often a combination of several different base ingredients. Smoked snoek is a delicious candidate for pâté.

Serves: 8

Ingredients

250 g butter, softened
wholegrain mustard to taste
prepared English mustard to taste
100 ml brandy
500 g smoked snoek, boned and flaked
salt to taste
freshly ground black pepper

Method

Beat the butter in a mixing bowl until creamy.
Add the mustards and beat to mix well.
Add the brandy and beat well.
Add the flaked snoek and mix well to combine thoroughly.
Season and pack into earthenware jars. Chill until firm.

Serve with biscuits, melba toast or wholewheat bread.

Tips

The pâté will keep for about 1 week, refrigerated.
Although yellow margarine may be used, pâté made with butter will be firmer and have a better flavour.
It is easy to make larger quantities of this pâté if you are feeding a crowd; simply ensure that the quantity of snoek is double that of the butter. Adjust the quantity of brandy to taste.
