Ingredients

  • 7 oz canned mackerel fillets (200 g), drained weight
  • 5,5 oz cream cheese (155 g)
  • 1 tsp poppy seeds
  • ½ tsp dried herbs
  • pepper
  • salt

Instructions

  1. 1) If you don’t have a stand mixer, then I recommend to mash up the mackerel and the rest of the ingredients with a fork because that will make this delicious dip chunkier. If you are looking for a more creamier version however, then you better prepare the mackerel rillettes in a blender.

  2. 2) Add all the ingredients to the bowl of the KitchenAid Stand Mixer Mini and season with a pinch of pepper and salt to taste.

  3. 3) Attach the flat beater and lower the mixer head.

  4. 4) Set speed 3 and mix the ingredients for 2 minutes.

  5. 5) Scrape down the sides of the mixer bowl.

  6. 6) Set speed 4 and mix the ingredients for 3 minutes.

  7. 7) Scrape down the sides of the mixer bowl.

  8. 8) Let the rillettes cool in the fridge for 30 minutes.

  9. 9) Serve as a sandwich spread or and an appetizer.
