A decadent starter for Christmas Day – and a godsend for those who like to get ahead
We’ve kicked off our family festivities with smoked salmon for as long as I can remember – for years, it was the only fish I’d eat that didn’t come in breadcrumbs. These days, I’m as likely to use trout instead, but whatever your preference this luxurious paté is an excellent way to make a pricey ingredient go a little further. It’s also a godsend for those who like to get ahead, because it will sit happily in the fridge for a couple of days, leaving you plenty of time for the rest of the mammoth to-do list … or simply to sit back and enjoy the moment. Because this year, of all years, we need to go a bit easy on ourselves.
