Instructions
Mix together the cottage cheese, horseradish and soured cream, and leave to sit for 10 mins.
Remove skin and any bones from the mackerel, break into thumb-sized pieces and pop into a food processor. Pulse briefly to break up the chunks; it shouldnt be too fine. Turn out into a large bowl.
Mix the chives into the mackerel evenly, then fold in the cream mixture and lemon juice. Chill in the fridge for 20 mins.
To serve, spoon some mackerel mix into each chicory leaf. Arrange on a large plate with lemon halves and serve with some drinks.
Recommended wine: Pinot Grigio, Sparkling Rose, Viognier
Pinot Grigio, Sparkling rosé, and Viognier are my top picks for Mackerel. Strongly flavored, oily fish like mackerel pair well with these crisp white wines and sparkling wine, even rosé. You could try Zind-Humbrecht Calcaire Pinot Gris. Reviewers quite like it with a 4.7 out of 5 star rating and a price of about 46 dollars per bottle.
Zind-Humbrecht Calcaire Pinot Gris
Bright yellow/gold color, quite luminous. Superb smoky toasty nose, typical for this grape on limestone in Alsace (no new oak in our wines, just very long total lees contact). Some light reductive aromas that actually fit the style of dry Pinot-Gris. The palate is rich and creamy, with a velvety texture yet fully dry. It is an easy wine to drink now as there is no unnecessary weight. The finish is nice and round but fully dry. The complex limestone blend brings great acid balance and a certain weight. It should develop very nicely over the next few years.
