Cheat’s taramasalata

Whizz up a quick taramasalata with this easy recipe. Rosie Mackean’s cheat’s version of the beloved Greek dip is made with hot-smoked trout instead of cod roe, and is just as delicious. Retro favourite: “For some reason smoked mackerel pâté seemed to be a dish that everyone knew how to make before I left school back in the late 2000s,” says Rosie Mackean. “I think it could have been on the Home Economics curriculum, or perhaps it was just a Blue Peter recipe that endured through our parents. Anyway, by the time we got to university everyone seemed to only know one dish, and taramasalata was it.” Taramasalata, reinvented: “This is an easy fish pâté too, but it’s a bit more modern and chic. It’s a cheat’s version of taramasalata, made using hot-smoked trout instead of smoked cod roe (with a few other tricks up our sleeve). You’ll never buy it from the supermarket again after this, trust me!” Easy starter: This speedy taramasalata takes 15 minutes to make and is the perfect laid-back starter, served with crisps and crudités.
