Ingredients for Smoked-Trout Spread

• 450g smoked trout fillets, skin discarded and any silver skin scraped off

• 2 sticks (230g ) unsalted butter, softened

• 80g finely chopped shallot

• 1/4 cup finely chopped fresh dill

• 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

• 1/2 teaspoons hot sauce such as Tabasco

• 1/4 teaspoons black pepper

How to make Smoked-Trout Spread

Flake trout and transfer 450g to a food processor, then blend with butter, shallot, dill, lemon juice, hot sauce, and pepper until smooth. Reserve remaining trout.

With motor running, add water to trout purée in a slow stream and process until water is absorbed, about 1 minute. Transfer to a bowl and fold in reserved trout, then pack mixture into a 4-cup glass or ceramic mold or bowl. Cover surface with wax paper, then tightly cover with plastic wrap and chill at least 6 hours to allow flavours to develop. Bring spread to room temperature before serving. (This will take 1 to 2 hours.)
