Grating some fresh horseradish over the pâté bumps up the taste even more.
Servings: 1 3/4 cup
Ready Time: 10 minutes
Wine Pairings: One big smorgasbord of appetizers could be suitably accompanied by a festive, dry sparkling wine. By all means keep it affordable, as in Italian Prosecco or Spanish cava. For an especially festive twist, turn that wine into a champagne cocktail by first dropping a sugar cube into the flute, soaking it with two or three dashes of cocktail bitters such as Angostura and adding a half-ounce of brandy. Then top up with sparkling wine. If serving just the smoked fish pâté, try riesling, either dry or off-dry. - Beppi Crosariol
