Making fish pate at home. Fish pate (any)

My husband is an avid fisherman. True, this was many years ago and we lived in Uzbekistan then, he went fishing on the Syr Darya, brought back grass carp so huge that it did not fit in our bathtub! He smoked the fish himself. They ate all kinds of it. But there were also quite small fish that I simply didn’t want to bother with... Some of them my husband cleaned, salted and dried... for beer. And I also cleaned most of it—the scales and innards—and made a pate from it, which the children really adored! I want to say that one of the sons did not like fish since childhood, but ate pate spread on bread!

Pate is prepared from whole (gutted) fish, as well as from the smallest fish, as well as from heads, tails and fins. I even put leftovers from boiled fish into the boiled raw fish - all the bones, uneaten tails and heads. You can also cook it from frozen fish, the cheapest and smallest (half the size of your palm).

The fish takes a long time to cook (like jellied meat), about 6-7 hours, so be careful not to over-salt it, because the water will boil away by a third, but the salt will remain! No matter how much fish you prepare for cooking, the water should cover it by a third (you can do it a little more, you won’t be mistaken, you can drain the excess after cooking rather than adding more).

Place the whole fish, a whole onion and a whole carrot into boiling water. Add salt, pepper (preferably peas), bay. After boiling, remove the foam, reduce the heat to moderate so that it simmers slightly, cover with a lid without closing it tightly. If you want to get a beautiful shade of pate, then put an unpeeled onion and small beets into the water.

While the fish is cooking, prepare the frying - fry the onions and carrots in vegetable (or butter) oil until golden brown. About an hour before the end of cooking, when there is little water, you need to remove the boiled vegetables from the pan - onions and carrots, as well as bay leaves and peppercorns. Instead of all this, cook with the fish and add a little fragrant herbs (cilantro, marjoram, basil). But the greens are not for everybody, you don’t have to put them in.

Yes, it is better to cook in a thick-walled container to avoid burning when there is very little water. The thickened mass must be stirred frequently and it will begin to gurgle and splash heavily! Therefore, keep the lid on even while stirring. Try the bones after they are cooked, they will be soft!

If after cooking there is some broth left, then in any case you need to put everything in a colander so that the liquid drains! Then I scrolled everything twice in a meat grinder with a fine grid. But you can grind all this in a blender (I don’t have one...). That's all. Transfer to a jar and into the refrigerator!
I also want to note that pate is a perishable product - it can be stored in the refrigerator for 2-3 days! If you want it longer, then put it in the freezer.

When reading, it may seem difficult and long, but we are making jellied meat, and it’s worth it!
But how nice and tasty it is to spread a piece of bread with pate instead of butter for breakfast (or you can use butter...)!

Fish pate, prepared at home, can become a decoration for any holiday table. If you want to surprise your family and friends with bright, original snacks, then read this article carefully.

Have you ever made pate from lightly salted red fish? What an unfortunate omission! After all, this is an excellent snack from which you can make delicious sandwiches or use it as a filling (eggs, pancakes, pita rolls, for example). And don’t think that it’s difficult - in fact, the recipe is simpler, faster to make and eat than to describe, really!

Let me tell you everything, and you will certainly prepare such a pate from lightly salted red fish and today you will pamper your family with a new and tasty dish, agreed?

Ingredients:

  • 100 g lightly salted red fish;
  • 1 processed cheese (100 g).

Optional:

  • sour cream or mayonnaise;
  • spices.

Preparation:

We will need lightly salted red fish - trout, salmon, pink salmon. At the same time, it is not necessary that these are beautiful, even, neat pieces - any, the most invisible ones, are suitable for pate. The main thing is that there are no bones in them, even small ones, so carefully examine the pieces of fish before preparing pate from them.

We cut the fish into small pieces, and also cut the processed cheese.

Place red fish and melted cheese in a blender bowl.

Grind the ingredients until you get a homogeneous mass. This will be our pate.

Depending on what part of the fish you have and the fat content and softness of the processed cheese, the consistency of the pate at this stage may be different. In this case, I was completely satisfied with it - the pate spread well on the bread and was not too thick. Otherwise, I would add a little sour cream or mayonnaise to it, mix it again with a blender and get the consistency of the pate that would be as required.

The same applies to spices - you can add salt, pepper and other spices (for example, Provençal herbs) to the pate depending on your taste preferences. I like tender fish pate, not too salty, so the salt that is in the fish is usually enough for me.

You can store this pate for up to 3-4 days in the refrigerator without any worries. Just remember to transfer it to a container with a lid or wrap it in cling film so that the top of the pate does not dry out.

Tips and tricks:

I took the processed cheese in a block, but it had a lot of fat, it was quite soft. But you can also use spreadable processed cheese - it will also work perfectly. Of course, in both cases, the processed cheese must be without any fillers - mushrooms, ham, etc.

Mix the mixture well, add raisins, zest and whipped butter.

If you are using the pate as a separate dish, garnish it with parsley, lemon slices, hard-boiled eggs and olives.
