Method for creating smoked eel ROULADE

Prepare ingredients: Bring the cream cheese to room temperature. Flake and carefully debone the smoked eel into a bowl.

Blend the mixture: In a food processor, combine the cream cheese, eel, roughly chopped herbs, capers, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, and zest. Blend until well combined. Adjust seasoning to taste.

Shape the roulade: Form the mixture into sausage shapes. Wrap in cling film or baking paper and freeze for 20-25 minutes to firm up.

Coat the roulade: Lay out the chosen coating on cling film or baking parchment. Unwrap the roulade and roll it in the coating until fully covered.

Chill and serve: Rewrap the roulade, fashioning it into a firm sausage shape. Refrigerate for at least 2-3 hours, preferably overnight. Serve with crusty sourdough or crackers.
