Ingredients

  • 200g smoked mackerel fillets, skin removed and flaked
  • 4 tbsp crème fraîche
  • juice and zest ½ lemon
  • small bunch chives, snipped
  • small handful dill, chopped
  • 1 small radicchio, separated into leaves
  • 1-2 chicory heads, separated into leaves

Method

  1. Gently mix the mackerel flakes with the crème fraîche, lemon juice, half the herbs and some pepper (but no salt – smoked mackerel is salty enough). Chill until ready to serve.

  2. Spoon a generous amount of the mixture into each leaf, then arrange on plates. Sprinkle each ‘scoop’ with the remaining fresh herbs and a pinch of the lemon zest, then serve.
