Directions
Smoked Tuna Pate with Crostini, use smoked tuna because I have a lot of it (thanks to a fishing Hubby), but any smoked fish will work as well This recipe is my traditional contribution to Super Bowl parties You can serve this with crackers, but the crostini (baugette slices) are sturdier and won’t crumble when spreading *Note that cooking Time is refrigeration time , I’ve made this twice, once with smoked tuna that my daughter brought me from B C and again just recently with some atlantic salmon that we smoked ourselves The last pate went to my sister’s wedding party and was devoured I made homemade bagel crisps as I agree that you need a fairly sturdy cracker Anyway I followed the pate recipe exactly and was very happy with this delicious spread Thanks for posting this excellent recipe Clare , use smoked tuna because I have a lot of it (thanks to a fishing Hubby), but any smoked fish will work as well This recipe is my traditional contribution to Super Bowl parties You can serve this with crackers, but the crostini (baugette slices) are sturdier and won’t crumble when spreading *Note that cooking Time is refrigeration time
