Nothing is better on a gluten free cracker or on a slice of bread than a homemade bread spread. I usually have meat or eggs or smoked salmon on my cracker but I like to make some new things whenever I have time. Lately, I couldn’t eat enough of the beets tapenade, it was so special. Now, I am into fish -based spreads. Normally, I would use tuna from a tin in a homemade spread like this as a tin is easy to store and I always have some at home. This time, I made it with a smoked mackerel.

Ingredients

• Smoked mackerel
• Big onion
• A cup of chopped parsley
• A couple of teaspoons of mayonnaise
• A pinch of salt
• Optional: boiled eggs, pickles, olives, ..

Preparation

• Separate fish meat from the rest of the fish carefully. To make sure that all fish-bones are removed – squeeze the fish meat between your fingers.
• Mix fish meat with the rest of ingredients and serve!
• In principle you can add anything you like to it: corn (not Paleo), pickles, green onion, dill, boiled eggs, bell pepper, olives etc.

Happy cooking! :-)

Ingredients 

(for about 12 small patties)

• Fresh fish e.g. cod – about 400 g
• Gluten free bun (or bread slice) – 1 or 2 (I used 1 Genius bun)
• Fresh parsley – as much as you like
• Garlic – 1 clove
• Spices: salt & white pepper *
• Gluten free flour or paneer (I used corn flour)
• Fat for frying

*White pepper fits with fish much better than the black pepper but if you have only black one at home, just use black pepper.

Necessary appliances

• Food processor (to grind fish)
• A kitchen bowl (to mix everything)
• A cutting board and a knife (to cut the parsley)
• A garlic press
• A frying pan & a spatula

Preparation steps

• Cut fish into blocks and grind it in a kitchen processor.
• Chop parsley.
• Wet a gluten free bun and drain the water away (just give it a good squeeze in your hand).

• Place ground fish, drained bun, cut parsley in a bowl. Add pressed garlic clove, salt and pepper.

• Mix everything together and form burgers.
• Paneer the burgers in a gluten free paneer or simply in gluten free flour of your choice. I recommend corn flour (not too finely ground).

• Fry the burgers until golden brown on both sides.
