When my friend Steven came to visit I asked him if he had any great recipes using garbanzo beans. I explained that another friend had sent a can of beans to show off the new transparent packaging and in exchange I'd post a holiday recipe. He recommended we make a smoked trout dip.
Smoked Dip ingredients
- smoked trout, smoked white fish or smoked salmon can be used in this recipe
- fresh cooked garbanzo beans can be used in place of canned
- you may use any tart citrus juice
- heavy cream or half and half
- good quality olive oil is essential
This smoked trout dip is easy to make with a full smokey flavor balanced by the lemon and dill. It's smooth and spreadable and goes well with crostini or a crisp plain cracker. I hope you all enjoy this party pate.
