Avocado and Pilchard Pâté recipe
This is a highly unusual pâté that’s perfect for people who don’t like avocado and pilchard – this pâté combines these flavours perfectly, making them into a delicious meal. Serve with Melba toast or crackers and a slice of lemon.
Ingredients:
2 large avocados
1 large tin of pilchards in brine
12-16 stuffed green olives
3 pickled gherkins
3 or 4 spring onions
4 tbsp. mayonnaise
2 tbsp. capers
1 tsp. Worcestershire sauce
Pinch of freshly ground black pepper
Directions:
De-stone the avocado and peel it. Chop the flesh and put it into a large mixing bowl. Chop the spring onions and the gherkins.
Add the tin of pilchards, olives, gherkins, spring onions and capers. Add the Worcestershire sauce and a pinch of pepper.
Using an electric mixer, start blitzing the ingredients to form a smooth paste. Add the mayonnaise in, one tbsp. at a time, blitzing after each tbsp. You should have a smooth paste.
Cover and leave in the fridge for around half an hour before serving.
