Wow, I love this recipie! If you added all the ingredients, perhaps you didn't let it go long enough in the food processor. It should be pretty smooth. It should have a samony color and be sort of salty/sweet.

I actually prefer mine a little chunky as opposed to totally smooth, but as Boysenberry said, you may need to blend a little longer.

As for flavor, I found that I like to add a couple squeezes of lemon juice and a little more salt, some pepper and I also add just a squeeze of agave to mine...that's just my personal preference. Sometimes I'll also add some dulse or kelp if I want a more "fishier" flavor. I also add additional chopped onions and celery to mine, again for my own personal preference.

When you say smooth do you mean like cream cheese smooth. Mine had the grain texture.

Mine comes out very smooth- not grainy. How long are you blending it? I guess it also depends on your food processor too or blender.

Hey Rawkinlocs, I also add a little kelp to mine. I think the Mock Salmon Pate is my fave recipe from the book. :)

Should I use a blender of a food processer?

Food processor.

I'd try Rawkinlocs advice, since not all raw food tastes the SAME, one day a red pepper can be super sweet and delicious, the next day a different one can be a little bit bland, I would say add a bit more spice, salt, sweetener, and see if you like it better.


good luck

I made this for dinner tonight and my husband and I both really liked it. Next time I am going to add some lemon and fresh dill because I think that might make it a little "salmony" tasting. My husband also thought it might be really good as the filing in sushi.

Good luck next time.
