Mackerel rillettes Recipe

Put 200g smoked mackerel filets and the juice of 1/3 lemon in a food processor, blend smooth, then fold in 65g creme fraiche, 65g cream cheese and 10g creamed horseradish sauce, and chill.

Next, make the pickle. Put 4 tbsp rice vinegar, 2 tbsp water, 40g caster sugar and a pinch of salt in a small saucepan and heat gently, swirling the pan, until the salt and sugar dissolve. Take off the heat and leave to cool.

Mix 1/3 cucumber, quartered lengthways, deseeded and cut into 5mm-thin slices, 1/4 small red onion, thinly sliced, 1/3 red chilli, cut into thin rounds, 1/3 tbsp grated ginger and 1/3 tbsp coriander leaves in a bowl, then pour in the cold pickle liquid and leave to marinate for five minutes.

Toast 2 thick slices sourdough and put it on a platter. Spoon some mackerel rillettes alongside , followed by a mound of the pickle, and serve.
