While I was busy being horribly ill on board Phoenix, BBC Radio Cumbria listeners heard local chef, Val Leach, preparing this recipe for Paul and Val.

Val Leach is the chef at Wordsworth House in Cockermouth. The birthplace of William Wordsworth, this Grade 1 listed National Trust property attracts visitors from all over the world.

The finished dish.

Ingredients
For two people
1 fillet oak smoked trout (skinned and boned)

2 tablespoons cream cheese

Chef Val Leach presents her dish.
It's all in the presentation.

Method:
1: Flake the fish into a bowl.

2: Mix in the cream cheese with a fork until smooth.

You can serve it on its own or part of a made up plate with prawns and smoked salmon.

Chef's top tip:

  • Experiment with extra ingredients until you find your perfect variation. Things to try: herbs, a splash of wine, garlic etc.
