Ingredients
- 200 grams smoked trout fillets
- 120 grams Greek yogurt
- 60 grams cream cheese
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon capers
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill
- 2 tablespoons fresh chives
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 1 unit garlic clove
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Begin by flaking the smoked trout fillets into small pieces, ensuring that any bones are removed.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, add the Greek yogurt and cream cheese. Using a hand mixer or whisk, blend until smooth and creamy.
Step 3
Stir in the lemon juice, capers, chopped dill, and chives. The fresh herbs should be finely chopped for better distribution of flavors.
Step 4
Mince the garlic clove finely and add it to the mixture along with the extra virgin olive oil.
Step 5
Season the dip with black pepper to taste, adjusting more if desired.
Step 6
Gently fold the flaked smoked trout into the creamy mixture, making sure it's evenly incorporated but not overly mixed to retain some texture.
Step 7
Transfer the dip to a serving bowl, cover, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
Step 8
Garnish with additional dill or chives if desired and serve with whole grain crackers, sliced baguette, or fresh vegetable sticks.
