Smoked Trout Pate

3/4 lb of smoked trout filets (boneless).  The quality of this sets the flavors.  Get the best.  I used Draeger’s Brand

1/2 cup very finely diced onion

1/2 cup chopped fresh chives

1 cup Mayonnaise (Best Foods)

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon pepper

Lemon juice to taste ( I usually add juice of 1 meyer lemon – maybe at bit more.  Add and taste)

Crumple trout in food processor and pulse to chop.

Transfer trout to bowl and add all remaining ingredients and blend together by hand.  Do not process everything together visual and texture suffers.

Adjust lemon and taste to get desired result

Serve with anything but dark rye bread is very good.
