Ingredients

3 small smoked mackerel fillets

100g lighter plain soft cheese

2 tbsp low-fat natural yogurt

1/2 lemon

2 large carrots

2 celery stalks

Crusty bread, to serve

Method

1
Put the mackerel on the chopping board, skin-side up. Starting at the tail end, peel away the skin – it should come off in one piece. Throw away the skin.
2
Next, break up the mackerel into small pieces. Put them into the bowl. Wash your hands.
3
Add the soft cheese and yogurt and mash everything together with the fork.
4
Using the smallest holes on the box grater, finely grate half of the lemon rind. Add it to the mackerel.
5
Cut the lemon in half. Squeeze out the lemon juice, add it to the bowl and mix well.
6
Cut off the top and bottom of the carrots and peel them. Now, cut the top and bottom off the celery stalks.
7
Slice the carrots and celery into sticks for dipping. Put the bowl of mackerel Pâté on a plate with the dippers and serve.
