Ingredients

• 200g smoked mackerel fillets, skin removed and flaked
• 4 tbsp crème fraîche
• juice and zest ½ lemon
• small bunch chives, snipped
• small handful dill, chopped
• 1 small radicchio, separated into leaves
• 1-2 chicory heads, separated into leaves

Directions

1. Gently mix the mackerel flakes with the crème fraîche, lemon juice, half the herbs and some pepper (but no salt-smoked mackerel is salty enough). Chill until ready to serve.
2. Spoon a generous amount of the mixture into each leaf, then arrange on plates. Sprinkle each 'scoop' with the remaining fresh herbs and a pinch of the lemon zest, then serve.
