ENIGIN - Mackerel - Simple
Following the last week or so of superbly hot weather there is a reasoning that suggests that its Too hot to be stuck over a hot stove preparing meals for the family. Here at Enigin we believe in trying to keep things simple and easy to understand. Strike up the Barby comes the cry and why not! Get down to you local Fishmonger or supermarket if they have a decent fish counter and look for local freshly caught Mackerel. Look for bright eyes and a shimmering skin which will tell you that the fish is fresh. Ask the Fishmonger to fillet a couple of good sized mackerel and pin bone them.. When you get them home put them straight into the bottom of the fridge. Light up the Barby and while you are waiting for it to go to white ash prepare nice fresh salad with lots of different elements. Put about 4 desert spoons of extra virgin olive oil in a bowl and add 2 -3 dessert spoons of Red wine and stir well. Add salt and pepper and mix well. Enigin.
Ok lets bring this together for a terrific easy and great tasting meal. Oil up the fish with olive oil and place skin side down on the BBQ. It should not take long and you will see the fish cooking through. Once the colour change id about two thirds of the way through the fish carefully lift the fish and turn it over. Give it anothe minute and remove from the BBq and hold on a hot plate. Plate up the salad, Cut a wedge of lemon and lay the mackerel fillets over the salad placing the lemon wedge on the fish. Spoon on a little of the red wine dressing and serve with crusty bread. A glass of cold cider goes well with this light meal. Summer on a plate. It works just as well with quality smoked mackerel just warmed. Mackerel is one of the best superfoods just like Enigin is one of the super energy savers.
