Ingredients

200g smoked mackerel fillets, skin removed and flaked

4 tbsp crème fraîche

juice and zest ½ lemon

small bunch chives , snipped

small handful dill , chopped

1 small radicchio , separated into leaves

1-2 chicory heads, separated into leaves

Method

Gently mix the mackerel flakes with the crème fraîche, lemon juice, half the herbs and some pepper (but no salt – smoked mackerel is salty enough). Chill until ready to serve.

Spoon a generous amount of the mixture into each leaf, then arrange on plates. Sprinkle each ‘scoop’ with the remaining fresh herbs and a pinch of the lemon zest, then serve.
