A fresh and healthy mackerel spread that high in protein and Omega-3s.
Ingredients
  • 125g tin of mackerel in water (you could also use mackerel in tomato sauce to add another flavour dimension to this spread)
  • 3-4 heaped tbsp cream cheese
  • Handful of fresh watercress (or rocket/aragula)
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • Ground black pepper and sea or rock salt to taste
  • Juice of half a lime
Instructions
  1. Add all the ingredients to a food processor or blender (or use a hand blender) and blitz for a minute until creamy smooth. Please note that this process will make the mixture go very runny, so transfer to a container or pot and refrigerate for a couple of hours before serving. The mixture should thicken up again to become a pate consistency.
  2. Alternatively you could use the runny mixture straight form the blender and use as a high protein, flavoursome salad dressing. Whichever way you eat it, enjoy!
