Baked Stuffed Mackerel recipe
information
Mackerel should be eaten the day it is caught, so this is a recipe for people living near the sea.
ingredients
60 g (2 oz) polyunsaturated margarine
1 small onion, finely chopped
1 tbsp medium oatmeal
60 g (2 oz) fresh wholemeal breadcrumbs
1 1/2 tsps chopped fresh lemon thyme
1 1/2 tsps chopped fresh parsley
Freshly ground sea salt and black pepper
2 - 3 tbsps hot water, if required

1 1/2 tsps chopped fresh parsley
Freshly ground sea salt and black pepper
2 - 3 tbsps hot water, if required

method
1. In a large frying pan, melt the margarine. Fry the chopped onion in the margarine until it is soft, but not coloured.
2. Add the oatmeal, breadcrumbs, herbs and seasoning to the fried onion, and mix well to form a firm stuffing, adding a little hot water to bind, if necessary.
3. Fill the cavities of the fish with the stuffing and wrap each one separately in well-greased aluminium foil.
4. Place each fish parcel in a roasting pan, or on a baking sheet, and cook in a preheated oven, 190°C (375°F) Gas Mark 5, for half an hour.
