LEMON GARLIC MACKEREL

Steps:

• Lay the fillets of fish on a baking tray, which has been covered with foil for easy clean up.
• Sprinkle with salt and leave for 5-10 minutes. This helps give the flesh a firmer texture but you may omit this step if you prefer.
• Meanwhile, preheat the oven grill.
• Mix together the garlic, lemon and some freshly ground black pepper.
• Pour over the mackerel and then put in the oven to grill for about 5 minutes.
• If you have some fresh herbs like parsley to hand you could finely chop them and sprinkle them over the fish at this point.
• Serve with your favourite veggies.

LEMON, CHILE & GARLIC PAN-FRIED MACKEREL WITH QUICK BUTTER BEAN STEW

Steps:

• Ensure you have a large frying pan over a medium-high heat. Heat the oil in a large frying pan. Season the fish fillets with salt and pepper and score the skin a couple of times. Add to the pan skin-side down and fry for 1 to 2 minutes until golden and crisp. Once you have placed the mackerel into the pan add the butter, garlic and parsley to the pan. Turn the fish, tossing the garlic. Carefully turn the fish over, and cook for another 30 seconds, transfer to a plate and keep warm.
• Tip in the butter beans, spinach and lemon zest. Add the stock and cook for a minute to wilt the spinach. Season well. Chop the parsley and set aside.
• Serve the spinach and butter beans in the base of a shallow bowl and top with the crispy mackerel fillets along with the parsley and a squeeze of lemon juice.

LEMON & PARSLEY BUTTER BEANS

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a pan, add the onion and cook for 10-15 mins until soft. Add the garlic for the final min, then stir in the beans to heat through. Add the lemon zest and juice. Stir in the parsley to serve.

BASIL & LEMON CHICKPEAS WITH MACKEREL

Steps:

• Heat 2 tbsp oil in a large, shallow pan. Add the spring onions, garlic and lemon zest, then cook for 2 mins until the onions are tender but still very green. Add the chickpeas, then stir until well coated in the onion mixture. Lightly crush with a potato masher, then add the stock and tomatoes. Simmer for 3-4 mins or until the liquid is absorbed, then set aside to cool slightly.
• Meanwhile, heat the remaining oil in a large, non-stick frying pan over a medium heat. Season the mackerel fillets on both sides and fry for 3 mins each side, starting on the skin side. You'll probably need to cook these in two batches.
• Add the basil and a squeeze of lemon juice to the chickpeas, then season to taste. To serve, spoon the warm chickpeas onto serving plates, drizzle with a little extra olive oil and top with the mackerel fillets.

GRILLED BROCCOLI AND LEMON WITH CHILE AND GARLIC

Steps:

• Bring a large saucepan of well-salted water to a boil over medium-high. Keep a large bowl of ice water next to it. Meanwhile, trim the broccoli so 2 inches/5 centimeters of stalk remain attached. Cut the broccoli in half lengthwise, then cut each half lengthwise again to give you 4 wedges per head.
• Blanch the broccoli by adding it to the boiling water and cooking for 3½ minutes, until softened. The stalks should retain a nice bite. Use a pair of tongs to remove the wedges and plunge them straight into the ice water to stop them from cooking further. Once completely cool, drain and dry them well, then place in a large bowl.
• Meanwhile, add 6 tablespoons/89 milliliters of oil, the chiles and garlic to a small frying pan and place it over medium heat. Cook for 7 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the garlic is golden and the chiles start to become transparent. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the solids to a plate lined with paper towels and set aside to cool and crisp further.
• Add the anchovies to the pan and place over low heat. Cook gently, stirring occasionally, for 10 minutes, until an anchovy is soft enough to be easily squashed with the back of a spoon. Set aside to cool completely.
• Place a large, well-greased grill pan over high heat and ventilate your kitchen well. (See Tip for outdoor grilling.) Toss the broccoli gently with 1½ teaspoons olive oil. Once the pan is very hot, grill the broccoli in 2 batches, turning so that all the flat sides have nice grill marks, 6 to 8 minutes per batch. Transfer to a tray to cool down. Grill the lemon rounds for 1½ minutes per side, until nicely charred, then transfer to a chopping board. When cool enough to handle, finely chop the lemon (skin and all) and transfer to a small bowl along with the lemon juice, parsley and remaining 1½ teaspoons olive oil. Mix well and set aside.
• Once the broccoli has cooled, top with the anchovy oil mixture and toss gently to combine. Arrange on a large serving platter and top evenly with the charred lemon mixture. Lastly, sprinkle over the fried chile and garlic and the flaked salt.
