Description

These Kipper Pate Slices offer a sophisticated twist on traditional finger food, combining the rich, smoky depth of kipper pate with the light crunch of puff pastry. The pairing with a cool, tangy cucumber and fromage frais dressing creates a perfect balance of textures and flavors, cutting through the richness of the fish and cream. Ideal for summer picnics, garden parties, or as an impressive starter for dinner guests, these slices are visually appealing and easy to assemble. The combination of fresh mint, garlic, and lemon juice in the dressing adds a vibrant herbal note that elevates the dish from simple snack to gourmet treat. Serve chilled for the best flavor contrast.

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F) / Gas Mark 6.
  2. Roll out the thawed puff pastry on a lightly floured surface to form a 25.5cm (10 inch) square.
  3. Cut the pastry square in half, then cut each half lengthwise to create 12 long rectangular slices.
  4. Arrange the pastry slices on a baking sheet, leaving a small gap between them.
  5. Brush the pastry slices lightly with beaten egg to help them rise and brown.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for about 10 minutes, or until the pastry is risen and golden brown.
  7. Remove the pastry from the oven and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  8. While the pastry bakes, mix the kipper pate, single cream, and lemon juice in a bowl until smooth.
  9. Season the pate mixture with salt and pepper to taste.
  10. In a separate bowl, combine the grated cucumber, fromage frais, chopped mint, and crushed garlic.
  11. Season the cucumber dressing with salt and pepper, ensuring it has a slightly runny consistency.
  12. Once the pastry is cool, trim any uneven edges if necessary.
  13. Spread the kipper pate mixture onto 6 of the pastry slices.
  14. Top each slice with the remaining 6 pastry slices to form sandwiches.
  15. Arrange the sandwiches on serving plates.
  16. Serve with the cucumber dressing on the side or drizzled over the top.
  17. Garnish with lemon slices and cucumber slices.
  18. Serve cold.
