Smoked Mackerel Pate & Beetroot Crostini

This is a regular starter in my house, and I made it for friends a few weeks ago and now they are asking for the recipe. I am a bit embarrassed about how quick and easy it is, but you need to save time for the drinking and eating, whats the point of a dinner party if you are not there to enjoy it?

this is enough for 4 people

• Average size packet of smoked mackerel
• 1 Tbls Fresh chopped parsley
• 1 heap tbls horseradish Sauce
• 4 Tbls Yoghurt
  

• cooked beetroot. approx 4 small ones
  

• home-made crostini (slice baguettes drizzle with oil and bake in oven for 15-20 mins)
  3 per person is a good starter amount
  

1, Pull the skin off the fish and discard, and break the meat into pieces in a bowl
2, use a fork to break up the fish as much as possible
3, add the rest of the ingredients and some fresh ground pepper and mix well
4, taste and check you are happy with the amount of horseradish and texture, if it needs more add more yogurt and horseradish
5, thinly slice beetroot and pop the slices on top of the bread and then top with a generous dollop of pate.
6, serve with some leaves and a drizzle of oil and balsamic vinegar
