LOVE IS SIMPLE By Gillian Balcombe
The name of our magazine is Cibare, an Italian word meaning to nurture and nourish. It resonates with the concept of preparing your food with love, with the idea of using the best ingredients in simple ways to produce delicious, satisfying dishes. With this in mind, and knowing that not everyone has either the time or the inclination to spend hours in the kitchen, here are a couple of recipes to enjoy with your nearest and dearest or significant other, that will demonstrate the love and leave you time to enjoy it too! For a classic but yummy starter, most of us enjoy the luxury of smoked salmon. This particular SMOKED SALMON PÂTÉ is very tasty and quite low in fat, so you’ll be showing how much you care in more ways than one!

Ingredients
150 grams of good quality smoked salmon trimmings (this is a better option than cheap smoked salmon) 100 grams of cottage cheese 1/8 of a medium sized onion, roughly chopped (you don’t need much - this is for a hint of flavour, not to overwhelm that wonderful salmon) 3 tsp of lemon juice 1 to 2 tsp of chopped parsley (it’s fine to use frozen parsley here, it’s so convenient and really saves waste if you can’t use up a fresh bunch all at once) Freshly ground black pepper
Method
Food processor – put all the ingredients into the bowl of the machine, starting with the onion and the salmon trimmings, and blitz till well blended. Carefully lift out blade, scrape out the pâté and put it into a serving dish. Stick blender – put all the ingredients Cibare Magazine
