Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 fillets smoked mackerel fillets
- 200 grams cherry tomatoes
- 400 grams mixed beans (canned, rinsed and drained)
- 1 small red onion
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 0.5 teaspoons ground black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 50 grams baby spinach leaves
Instructions
Start by preparing the ingredients. Halve the cherry tomatoes, finely chop the red onion, and mince the garlic. Chop the fresh parsley and set everything aside.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped red onion and minced garlic, and sauté for 2-3 minutes until softened and fragrant.
Add the cherry tomatoes to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they start to soften and release their juices.
Stir in the rinsed and drained mixed beans. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to combine. Season with salt, black pepper, and a squeeze of fresh lemon juice.
While the bean mixture is cooking, prepare the smoked mackerel. Remove the skin and gently flake the fillets into bite-sized pieces.
Turn off the heat and gently fold the flaked smoked mackerel and chopped parsley into the skillet. Adjust seasoning if needed.
To serve, divide the baby spinach leaves between two plates. Spoon the warm mackerel and bean mixture over the spinach to allow it to slightly wilt.
Serve immediately and enjoy this wholesome and flavorful meal!
