Ingredients

  • 200g piece chorizo, roughly chopped
  • 2 small onions, chopped
  • 900g potatoes, cut into small cubes
  • 250g cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 4 peppered smoked mackerel fillets, skinned
  • Large handful of fresh parsley leaves, chopped

Method: How to make smoked mackerel and chorizo

1. Heat a large, non-stick frying pan over a high heat. Add the chorizo and cook, stirring, for 2 minutes, until most of the oil has been released. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside.

Tip

This dish will freeze for up to 1 month. Thaw overnight, then pan-fry in a little oil over a high heat until everything's piping hot.

2. Reduce the heat to medium and add the onions and potatoes to the pan. Coat in the oil from the chorizo and cook for 12-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, or until the potatoes are just tender and the onions golden.

3. Stir the tomatoes and chorizo into the pan. Flake the mackerel fillets with a fork and add them to the pan. Gently mix and cook for 2 minutes, until piping hot. Stir in the parsley. Divide between 4 plates and serve with a mixed leaf salad.

Drink note

The wine to cope with these flavours is a fresh, mouthwatering rosé – try one from Spain.

  1. This recipe was delicious and it's really easy to make! My flatmates and I expected to be assaulted by the smell of the fish but combined with the rest of the ingredients the dish smelt lovely. We ate it hot on a bed of mixed leaves for dinner then had the left overs for lunch the next day as a cold salad. Will definately make this again.

  2. I tried this recipe when I needed a quick meal. I had no ingredients so had to popo out to ge them. Was ready in 20mins and was very tasty and I would definately recommend cooking when short on time and very hungry.

  3. Everything was nice until the fish went in and it wrecked the entire meal for not only me but my flat mate. my girlfriend entered the room and ran gasping for breath and i struggled not to do the same. i did however attempt to eat it, this lasted 5 minutes and i decided that i couldn't take it any more. virtually everything went in the bin and the bin bag went straight off the balcony and in to the bushes because i didn't want it in my proximity. Urrrrrrgghhhh!
