Friday Foraged Recipe #3 | Sea Vegetable & Mackerel Roast
Time: 50 minutes (+ foraging & fishing)
Makes: This recipe is for 4 (adjust according to your catch)
Ingredients:
3 lovingly caught Mackerel
Thinly sliced (& generous portion of) potatoes for each feaster
4-5 crushed cloves of garlic
1 chunkily sliced red onion
Handful of each prepped sea vegetable (we used sea purslane, sea-blite and perennial and common samphire)*
Pinch of chilli
Seasoning
A few glugs of olive oil
*to prep, break off the bottom of the samphire stems (this is tough and chewy), strip the leaves off the sea purslane and sea-blite and give them all a little wash
How to:
- Pop the oven on to 180c
- When itโs warmed up add your potatoes, garlic, onion, chilli and seasoning in to a baking tray, mix with a glug of olive oil and chuck in the oven. Cook this for 25 minutes or so
- While the veg are cooking fillet your mackerel
- After the veg have had 25 minutes stir in your sea vegetables and lay your mackerel fillets on top. Give this a cook for 7 minutes or so
- Take your goods out of the oven, throw on any leftover sea vegetables for seasoning and BAM, youโve got yourself a sea roast
